Currently building a house on piers. In the picture, the piers are anchored to the thick laminated beam, but how do I best anchor the wall sill to the laminated beam? I've added a couple of metal plates but am wondering if it will be too rigid given that the wood moves with the seasons. Does anyone know if this works or how it should be done?
 
  • Wooden house under construction on concrete piers with laminated beam, metal connectors, and power drill visible, questioning wall plate attachment.

What you have in mind will work well, but it would probably suffice with construction screws that you angle screw with...
But continue with the nail plates!
