New Mudsill on A Humpy Foundation

www.protradecraft.com | SUBSCRIBE please
When an old house comes down to the foundation, you have a clean slate for plumb, level, and square.
Sort of.
Humpy old foundations can be a bad starting point. To make sure the the floor framing is level, begin by shimming the mud sills using a transit or laser.
To reduce the effects of out of level corners and big humpy bumps, use thick mudsills that can be half-lapped at the corners. Screw the corners together to create a solid structure less prone to variations in the foundation.
You can staple the sill seal to the bottom of the mudsill before laying it down, and the masons can fill the gaps under the mudsill with mortar.
Now you’ve got a solid flat substrate to frame a floor on that will be level and flat.
