JiAngelo Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Hello, I have a new floorplan that has developed what looks like a missing sill plate between basement & main level. It does not appear adjacent rooms that step down (like front/rear porches & garages.) I tried building all framing and all that did was make the sill plate appear (see third picture.) I should be seeing exterior coverings extending below sill. My first thought was to make the sill plate concrete - this would be a quick fix, but one of the sill plates is across the front elevation which requires stone extending downward. Has anyone else run into this, I tried searching the forum. Thanks, John.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 I am not sure that should be happening at all but have a look at this other recent thread and see if it can provide a solution: X15 I Assume ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiAngelo Posted July 12, 2023 Author Share Posted July 12, 2023 Thanks Chopsaw! Changing it to 1.5" dropped the exterior material 1.5" below the sill plate....TOO MUCH. I changed it to 1/8" and it covers the sillplate without being noticeably below the corner trim boards, which do extend to the bottom of sillplates automatically. Thanks again. John.

Kbird1 Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Without the Plan we can't really diagnose problems like this, but it looks loke you've found a "workaround" M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
