[QUOTE="Wisconsonian, post: 7561002, member: 150618"] The shims and slotted plates are for steel buildings that need to be accurate to bolt together. If you do a decent job with layout, then it will be close enough for wood, and if you don't do a decent job, then shims and slots aren't going to be enough to help anyway. Here, it's prefered to have the steel a couple inches above the floor level to keep it cleaner and dryer. Br Jones might be thinking the same thing I am, you seem to be substituting steel frame parts into a wood frame design. They work differently, the wood poles in the ground provide structure to the frame that is not the same as the connection of a steel frame to the base. You can't just swap one part for the other without re engineering the building. [/QUOTE]
