Dumb question about blocking
How do you attach blocking for basement finishing for top plate when between the concrete wall and the first joist? The blocking will "sit" on the sill plate. Do we try and toenail it in to the sill plate?

Thanks. Wasnt sure how to deal with insulation in that area with blocking. We were originally hoping to do spray foam, but with fire blocking it is going to be difficult to access. If we do rigid foam is it better to block first and cut foam to fit around it, or add foam first. I'm just not sure there will be enough sill to attach to as we need at least 2" foam.
