So i have an as-built sill plate that is not pressure treated. Have you guys ever come across a product to treat a regular 2x4 sill plate with Borate or similar treatment after it has been installed? Conc Slab on grade foundation below, studs @ 16" o/c above.
Right now i cant find anything. It looks like we will have to replace it in total which will require a lot of demo to a wall with exterior siding already finished.
I was reading the code this morning and it sounds like if a sill plate on a foundation is more than 8" over grade it doesnt have to be pressure treated, but ive never gotten away with that on any of my plans so i dont expect that to work.
Ok thanks for reading, cant wait to see all the responces.
