I'm about to start renovating my vacation home built around 1960-1970.
Brief about the house: small cabin approximately 9x6 m with open pillar foundation. Horizontal paneling with about 100 mm insulation in the walls.
I will start with the sill that has seen better days. See pictures
Considering material choices. I'm likely to struggle finding new wood with the same dimensions (160x160) so I'm thinking about splicing 4 pieces of 45x170. Could that work?
Also, I'm deciding between pressure-treated or not. Does anyone have an opinion?
It's a bit unclear how the floor beams are attached to the sill so far. It doesn't look like they're on top but rather attached to the side of the sill. Meaning the "inside" of the sill will face the insulation. Does that affect the choice of pressure-treated or not? I'm thinking about the risk of odor.
