Hi,
I have found that most of my sub floor wall plates need replacing due to wood rot, they are all on sleeper walls and are not sitting in any of the main walls. I am not 100% sure what would be the best way forward to replace these. Should I try to replace each wall plate separately one at a time under the joists, by first trying to lift the joists a little where I am replacing one of the wall plates. Or is it best to remove all the joists first and then replace all the wall plates in one go, then fix the joists back to the new wall plates. I suppose I am trying to find the best way to be able to keep the level and height of the floor during the wall plate replacements.
I am kind of of new to doing this type of DIY, and want to make sure I am not going to try a tackle it in the most difficult way.
Thanks.
