DKAudio is on a distinguished road
I just talked to an inspector. He said no header is needed and no fastners are needed. This seems suprising to me. I will use some tapcons as extra insurance that it won't warp or move when back-filling.

For the pressure treated frame I will rip 2X10s to 8" and lay them flat on all 4 sides.

Sound good?

Also wondering what size tapcons you recommend? 3/16 or 1/4" what length? Thanks
