I tore down a load-bearing inner wall, and the carpenter rebuilt it...
This was the previous setup from the floor;
* Concrete slab - mineral wool - floor joist...
Now the carpenter has done the following:
* Concrete slab - plastic shims - floor joist
This is to prevent the floor joist from resting on the concrete slab...
What I wonder is, is this OK?
Shouldn't he have laid down sill paper and then simply put the floor joist on that?
Should I install plastic sheeting, sill paper, or try to seal with foam to eliminate the gap?
Or does it not matter???
What I'm worried about is that moisture might get into the floor joist.
