then i started to cut out the rotten framing so i could acess the sill. i had to remove some of the rotten wood from the floor. then once that was dont i was able to start to remove the sill.

i have also started to mark and cut the new PT 2x6 that will be used to build the new sill.

i hope next week to remove the rest fo the rotten wall framing and sill.
then the following week build and install the new sill
