sill plate attachment on old construction?
How were sill plates attached to concrete foundations in older (60 years in this case) construction? I'm just tearing into a 12' rotted-out section of exterior wall in the workshop and the sill plate is completely shot - but I'm not seeing any signs of how the plate's anchored to the concrete; no J-bolts or wedges. I'm not seeing evidence of wire ties either, although I suppose they might have disintegrated. Maybe it'll become obvious once I tear the rotted plate out (and hopefully the answer isn't "nothing" ;-) but I probably won't get to that until later today once I've got the structure well supported. I'll put wedges in when I shoe-horn a new plate in... cheers Jules |
