Question about sill paper

[Janne79]

Hi! I have a small question about sill paper.. The thing is, I'm building a terrace on concrete slabs. I'm almost done with the whole frame, pressure-treated 145x45, when I suddenly realize that I haven't laid sill paper. How important is it when it is pressure-treated wood? I don't really feel like taking it apart, and I assume it's a bit too heavy to lift...

You can lift with a jack.
If it's tight from above and the ground is damp below, I would have made the effort, but not otherwise.

ignore it if you don't expect a lifespan of 40-50 years............

I don't think it's a disaster either, but if you want to extend the lifespan and sleep better, prop it up, lift a bit carefully with a jack and see if you can wedge in a piece as sblixten says.
Otherwise, support it up, saw off the rule and place an adjustable plastic foot:

Thanks for the tips. It ended up being plastic "fötter". Used a jack to prop it up, dug it out, and placed the "fötter". It would have been easier with cardboard, but now I can adjust if it settles in any direction.
