We are replacing a worn-out wall and have built a new wall with lightweight concrete blocks. The roof trusses rest on a reinforced concrete beam high up in the wall. There are sill plates where the trusses rest on the wall. But now the roof trusses are being embedded in the wall without anything between the truss and the concrete block/mortar.
Is there anyone knowledgeable on this forum who can tell me if I can sleep soundly or if it's justified to worry about moisture damage in the truss? The roof is also insulated with flax which lies directly against the wall's concrete beam.
It's easy to address now before the wall is completed, so I'm wondering if and what I should say to the construction company. I've heard that wood directly against concrete is a bad idea...
