Hey guys,
I'm in the process of framing in my new workshop when I ran into an issue that I need a little help with.
I have a slab with one course of block around the perimeter in which the walls sit on.
Basically from the ground up my walls are slab, block, sill plate, bottom plate, studs, top plate, double top plate.
I have found that I am a 1/2" out of level from one side of the building to the other. I believe either the slab or block is out.
What do you guys think I should do to level the walls? Should I shim between the sill and bottom plate or between the top plate and double top plate? I think it would be easier to shim between the top plate and double top plate so they are level rather than shim between the sill and bottom. I just have not heard of anyone doing it that way.
Thanks,
Paul
