I have a question on anchoring my post to my basement.
I already have my floor joist and sub-flooring in place, I was going to have steel plate sitting of the floor with a steel rod (prob. 1"diaX18"length) going through my flooring down anchored to the foundation, and a steel plate attached to my post. Once in place, just weld the two plates together. There will be blocking under the post also (Would kiln dried 2x10 work?) Do you have any other suggestions or concerns?
I already have my anchor plates for the bottom of timbers.
I'm trying to make this as easy process as possible while the timbers are being set.
Thanks
