Hi everyone from hot, dry, and windy Midland, TX
Our former “contractor” didn’t use treated lumber for sill plates on concrete slab foundation. He just used sill gasket and Ram-sets to tie the outside walls to the foundation. This a 20’x20’ work shop project. Wondering if this will be a problem in the future. I’m going to install Z bar flashing along the sill plate when the LP Smart Siding goes on. But still concerned about moisture and insects. This has been a nightmare with this guy. Cut him loose when he kept doing crappy work and couldn’t present permits that were supposed to have been pulled. Suggestions and/or advice welcomed!
