How to replace the bottom log?

[TorpAnders]

I need to replace the bottom log in two external walls. I've heard that it should be possible to support with some form of posts and in between place foam insulation. Does anyone know the details of this technique? Lifting the house and replacing with a new log is not an option.

Try posting under Building Preservation instead, where for example this post was found:

Check out my site under web links, there are 4 links under
Build - Renovate - DIY

They are called "repair syll" and they describe what you want to do.

Good luck
