Ok,

so I admit it. I messed up. I had the nerve to build a workshop in my
basement. Actually, all I needed to do was put up two partition walls,
to make a complete wood shop. Everything was fine. Until it came to
selling my house.

I failed inspection because the sill plates on my walls aren't pressure
treated - a moisture barrier is required. I know that If I had layed
roofing paper, or sheet metal, down on the floor where the sill was
going before putting the wall down, it would also have sufficed to
serve as a moisture barrier - my township has told me so.

The problem is i used liquid nails to affix the sill to the cement. SO
here's the question: Does anyone know of a way that I can put roofing
paper/sheet metal/etc...underneath the sill in its present condition?
I'm perfectly willing to undo the liquid nail portion of things, but
I'd like to avoid ripping the wall down, if possible. If there was a
way to remove the contact betweent the liquid nails and the cement, and
then slip the roofing paper between, that would be great.

So I'm all ears. Any thoughts?


- Thanks,

Todd
