The Sill Plate
The sill plate is the means to connect the wooden framing to the cement stem wall. Place J bolts about every two feet in the cement at the top of the stem wall while it is still wet. After the cement dries attach a redwood or a treated 2x8 or 2x6 to the stem wall, depending on the size of the studs on your walls, with appropriate nuts and washers. We used a 2x8 green board since we have 2x6 redwood walls.
