Awesome thanks man for the video. Trying buy a home in tn with a rotten seal plate. Its in a crawl space and on a brick home just wondering how bad this will be.
It’s rotten for a reason may have termite and mold and bad physics inside the crawl space that need correction. Consult with someone who knows like a crawl space company if you can. I changed a sill in my garage and made the opposite of his video like long and with commentary: ruclips.net/video/D1IzlzSbZmo/видео.htmlsi=gQVQgEodBqlAGjSq
If you don't want to jack up the house, you could also replace the sill plate in between the beams (by cutting out the rotted sill plate in between the beams). Then secure the new piece of sill plate to the concrete. Then attach a new beam to the healthy part of the old beam and rest it on the new sill plate.
@@andrewrossnagel9433 If you can't drill down vertically, you can use a steel plate (like a Simpson Strong Tie) to secure the sill plate to the foundation horizontally. That's what the earthquake retrofit contractors did to my house in some spots.
@@chrisa6965 Yeah I considered those but my basment is pretty big so it would cost a lot of money. Seems silly to spend $200 on PT wood and $1000 on plates lol. I am doing total renovation so I am considering drilling through the bottom plate on exterior walls with a long bit. I can probably hit a thunder stud in with a piece of rebar/threaded rod from where I drilled.
Gosh, this video is old but its exactly what I needed to see. Geez, why can't I have a man with such skills. Lol I have a sloping floor on 2nd level and on the same wall of chimney and its driving me nuts. I'm becoming scared yearly believing its a severe structural issue. I had new roof installed and chimney repaired years ago to ensure that no water issues entered my walls but this had no impact on the sloping floor. If ANYONE can send me a link, how to repair this issue or a minimum, how to create a temporary wall below so that above can be opened to view, I would be soooooooo grateful. Thank you. Maria
Those notches for electrical on the sister joists are not up to code. you would unfortunately need to pull the electrical and re-run romex via drilled holes in your new sister joist. Also I think code requires holes must be 2 inch above edges of joist. Also, while pulling wire you'd want to double check that those runs are on the first 3rd of the joist as also a code requirement and many old homes have the runs right smack in the middle of the joist. More work yes, but it's the correct way...
Awesome! Totally Awesome! All right CNG! Perfect video. Thank you for all the closeups and angles and clarity in less than 3'. Now with this perhaps it will take me less than 3 weeks. And the whole time that great music will be playing in my head....
Wow, I need to do a few sections in my basement!! This video made me go from depressed (thinking about the cost) to deliriously happy that this is something I can do!!
Michael Busby, saw your comment & have to ask, did you find any video/illustration of how to replace rotted sill plate where the floor joists run parallel? Needing to do the same in one section of house for about a 12’ run.
Depends. If you’ve got all the tools then you’ll just need some lumber and miscellaneous things. If you’re gonna pay someone to do this. Probably between $3,000-$8,000 depending on the size of the house and complexity of the job.
Great video. Just didn't like that you didn't remove some of the old dry rotted would at the end.
i have a collapsed sill plate in the basement from leaking foundation/ water damage.... this gives me hope but i imagine it's gonna be a LOT of work
I am replacing mine wondering how to anchor the sil in such tight space
The music was inspired.
This is the very best video f this genre on RUclips! Bravo!

@claireh.7605 good deal thanks buddy
Phenomenal video bro!
Yes. He stalks the sill gasket to sill plate.
Music is so good 😂
Thanks for this college course !
Thumbs up!!!
Fantastic
No tarpaper under the wood
How did you attach new sill plate to the foundation? I have to do this and want to avoid spent $800 on steel plates.

How do you secure new sill plate to foundation? My hammerdrill won't fit in there to drill new holes.

This was beautiful. So straight forward!
How much would a contractor charge for something similar?
Excellent, explained the process they will be doing to my house perfectly. Thank you
Awesome
I’m having the hardest time finding someone to fix my issue.
Mate seeing the state of that sill plate and the actual process of replacing gives me so much relief hahah
Thought mine was bad😂
Dude where are your gloves?
10 out of ten
what is the cost of this repair for a 100 Sq ft...floor
Love the Bugs Bunny melody soundtrack! Aside from that, good camera angles and clear shots.
Where can l find a good contractor like you
I am trying to figure out your process for jacking and supporting the joists. How did you go about that?

I have a dirt crawlspace :(

Love it! Are those 2x4's along with 1x6's for shoring it up?

How’d it go?
Exactly what I was looking for
How do I do this if the sill runs parallel with the joists ?? Where is the point load ?
This was great! Now, do a rotted rim joist running parallel to the floor joist, pretty please lol

@@kmartin7607same here. ughh
Doing the same thing at the cottage, be thankful you can stand while doing your project.
Nice. You can also glue the sisters for added strength.
Great video!
Hi, may i ask where are you located and contact info? Want to get in touch for an estimate. Thanks!
you made that look easy, please come do my house
Smokin
Love it, quick video and shows exactly what needs to be done. Thanks for the video
That was great!
Dust mask?
Make sure you are not using pressure treated timber though
Why not pressure-treated? Just curious...
How much would this cost to do ?
Depends. If you’ve got all the tools then you’ll just need some lumber and miscellaneous things. If you’re gonna pay someone to do this. Probably between $3,000-$8,000 depending on the size of the house and complexity of the job.
