Replacing Sill Plate/Rim Joist In Balloon Framed 2 Story Barn With Basement
The 6"x6" sill plate on my barn acts as a rim joist too. It is toast in one corner and the joists on the 1st floor have just fallen off of it due to its severe rot. Doing the research for this, every procedure to replace a sill plate involves going into the basement and jacking up the joists, lifting the rim joist up to slide the sill plate under. Since my sill plate is the rim joist, I cannot do this. Would love to hire someone, but can't right now. I gotta do it myself. How about putting some jacks between the bottom plate (under studs) & foundation, place a partial sill, reattach the joists, jack the joists from the basement, put in the rest of the sill? submitted by /u/470vinyl [link] [comments]
