When attaching 2x floor joists to foundation PT sill plates, is it acceptable to install Cedar Shims directly underneath the joist if the joist is low (approx. 3/16″), due to a low spot in the foundation wall.
Also, when toenailing joists to sill plate, if the joist splits from toenailing should the joist be replaced or is there a level of acceptance to a split in the end of the joist on which weight will bear.
