I am trying to repair a rotten sill plate one the corner of the first level of the house.there is rot on the corner post and studs as well as sub floor.
rot was caused by gutter leak that allowed water to run behind the brick
and down to the sill plate. the sill plates and affected joists are supported
by masonry piers . can i repair the sills ect without jacking the the joists,since the support from the existing piers is already carring the joist load. i think I will need to build a temporary support wall in the room to
support the top load on the sill . I only need to replace 24 inches of sill
on each of the sills,which would leave 12inches of supported sill on the piers. can I do this without jacking the floor joists from the crawl space ?
