Install New Pressure-Treated Bottom Plates & Rim Joist

What happens here

With the damaged material removed, new pressure-treated lumber is cut and installed. This includes two 2x6 bottom plates and a 2x10 rim joist section. These pieces are carefully measured, cut square, and then slid into the prepared opening. A sledgehammer is used to gently tap them into their final position, ensuring a tight fit. The worker emphasizes that using pressure-treated lumber will prevent future rot.

Goal: New pressure-treated 2x6 bottom plates and a 2x10 rim joist section are carefully fitted and secured into the repaired wall area.
