  Replacing Post and Beam sills

If I was doing it, I would put in a secondary beam to carry the load from the sill inside of the existing sill. Then I would remove a post and do the foundation work. After the foundation was done, I would fit a new post followed by a new sill and then move on down the building. I am assuming that you want a new concrete footing under each post similar to the stone footing that you have now.

As you say, the building is not square now and leveling it out should not be a problem on the structure. I don't exactly understand jacking to 2" above grade. I would put in the sill a section at a time and splice it as necessary. In that way, you only need enough room to slide it into place. (less than 1/2 inch) Attachment can be done with modern hardare to make things easier.

  Replacing Post and Beam sills

I guess that I had envisioned a larger structure. I agree that it might be difficult to slip in a 16' 8X8 with a half inch of clearance. I think that you should be able to lift the side of the building with three or four jacks and a good beam.

I do wonder if you could build the sill up out of 2X8s or a group of 2X6s and a 2X8 cap. You could then stagger the ends of the shorter pieces of lumber and have a joint.

Good Luck.
