Yes, the lumber touching concrete I used PT, I’m pretty sure. All the sills
have the foam sill sealer as well. 2×12? Hrm, Oh, that one…um, no. Hrm.
that concrete is inside the building, but do you think it’s still important
to use PT against that wall? good catch!
Yes. Concrete is a very pores material that will extract the moisture from
any lumber that is not PT (Capillary Action is what it’s called in the
building world). I wouldn’t worry about it too much, but if you loose any
sleep over it, I do have an easy and low cost solution.
Hmmm, I can’t believe you didn’t use a water level to set your wall
heights. In the course of 100 linear feet, a 4 foot level can get you off
by over an inch on a good day.
This is my favorite part of a project. The beginning of the framing. The
preparation and layout.
Did you use a pressure treat 2X12 ledger for the rim against the concrete
wall?
