Step 1
identify a irregular support wall just beside the garage wall . Measure the height from the service department floor to the ceiling , and establish the paries to the comparable height . Tap the wall in place , and plumb the rampart with a 4 - foot level .
Step 2
Remove the service department side so that the molder sill is exposed . softly nose the sidetrack with a flat pry bar . take the siding six to 12 inch above the sill denture . Once the siding is loosened , pull the nail with the pry streak , and pose the siding to the side for reattachment .
Step 3
Step 4
Determine whether the sill is placed on a concrete slab or a concrete foundation . A concrete slab sill is always the same size of it as the wall frame and is attached directly to the rampart . A concrete cornerstone sill sits beneath a framed story and is not part of the wall framing . It is generally 8 inches wide or the breadth of the foundation .
Slab Concrete
Detach the sill plate from the wall framing by cutting through the framing where it is plug in to the home base . Cut through the nails where the sill attache at the bulwark framing and below the sill plate where the photographic plate attaches directly to the concrete slab .
Cut the sill plate into 4 - foot sections for easy remotion . Pry the sill from the wall with a flat stripe and remove all stay junk from the concrete slab . Cut unexampled treated sill plate and slue them beneath the wall frame .
Insert 3 - inch Grant Wood screws through the wall framing at an slant and into the new sill scale . Drill hole through the sill plate and into the concrete with a hammer drill and insert concrete screws to hold the sill in situation .
Concrete Foundation
Remove the sill plate from beneath the floor framing . Drill a 1 - column inch hole beneath the floor framing where it meets the sill . Insert the reciprocating see to it into the yap and cut through the rotted sill . thin the sill into 4 - infantry sections .
Do not trend through the linchpin bolt that are anchored into the concrete foundation . The anchor bolts will be used to re - anchor the new sill plates . Pry the sill from the foundation with a flat bar .
site the new treat sill onto the concrete groundwork and against the anchor bolts . stead pencil marks at the location of the anchor thunderbolt . Cut 1 - inch slots into the treat sill from the side of the pencil mark that extends to the heart and soul of the treat lumber .
Step 5
slip the sill into place and tighten up the anchor bolts down onto the unexampled treated sill . Insert 3 - inch wood screws through the floor framing and into the address sill at an slant , spacing them four feet apart . Replace the turnout on the garage .
