Hello
I had to break open a part of the wall in the garage due to a mouse nest and then saw that the sill was nonexistent, more "soil" than wood.
What is the best way to fix this?
The wall is constructed with mexitegel, asphalt board, insulation, wind paper, wallboard.
Thanks for the response, though I'm not entirely sure what you mean.
Do you mean that I should cast it so that the sill is not against the actual slab, kind of like the sill ends up at the same level as the actual floor?

The best thing is to cast a few cm above the garage floor, then there is no risk of meltwater from a snowy car finding its way into the sill. Then you should probably be careful when sawing, etc. so that you don't crack the mexifasaden..
Had the EXACT same problem at home on the outbuilding with a wooden sill where the floor was cast afterwards, causing the sill to end up in a pocket. Result = rot.
Prop up, cut, and replace the sill piece by piece. I chose to brick it because it's a bit of a hassle to get the molds right, but then I raised it by two bricks, as the building was "on the ground." Here, if I interpret the images correctly, it's enough to just cast the pocket itself.
Would it work to lay a row of lecablocks to raise the sill 9cm above the floor?
You should be able to plaster the part that is above the floor then, right?
