Get yourself down to Bunnings and buy a book by Allan Staines, its all about decks and pergolas but the principles are the same.
They may even have one about house building, in fact come to think of it, they have.

Depends on what sort of stumps you have.If it is just a plain wire coming out of the top,you either bend it over and bend a nail over it as well, or you can buy a clip that slides on and won't come off, but they aren't used often. If they are threaded, use a washer and nut. If they have a wire loop on the side,then you have used a reblocking stump,and they attach to the side of the bearer with a bent over 75mm nail.
