  Replacing Post and Beam sills

Good Morning,
I'm replacing the sills on a small P&B barn. The barn has to be leveled and some new foundation work done.

Currently the structure sits on the original plinth stones which over time have settled into the earth. One corner of the barn has rotted down 5 inches past the 8 inch sill for a total of 13 inches down.

My questions are as follows:

1) What is the best proceedure here? My gut is to jack and level to 2 inches above final grade and then put in the foundation pilings followed by the sills.

2) How do I keep this building from racking out of square while jacking. Not to infer that it's square now but I hope to square it in the process.

Thanks for your help in advance,
Chris

  Replacing Post and Beam sills

Thanks for the input,

The 2 inches above grade is this....

The building is small 14 X 16 and the sills are all 1 piece.

All the upright posts are good except for 1 corner so I'm not replacing all the posts. Each horizontal sill beam 8x8 needs to be replaced as 1 unit. I think I'll need more room than 1/2 inch to get these into place.

I'm not going to rehang a floor in this building again. It's on a small slope and I'll fill it with 1/2 inch stone and pour a slap inside. I'll be using pressure treated for the sills.

I do plan to put concrete footings under each beam and restack the plinth stones under the rest of the sill.

Regards,
Chris
