I have a 200 yr/old colonial that my family and I have been in for nearly 6 years. I have just discovered that my front sill needs to be replaced. the house is 40ft long. I have purchased alot of timberframe books because of another project I want to do (I know enough to be dangerous). They are great for building a new structure but do not give any advise on restoration. I have researched what sill joints I will use but I do not know where/how to jack the front of the house to get this job done. Please Help, Kevin.

Small world, I'm one of the folks currently wrapping up the restoration of the Cilleyville - Bog Bridge.

Perhaps we could arrange to exchange some advice for a cup of coffee at the Blackwater. Zap me an e

I sent the E-mail, not sure you recieved it. I also saw the bridge pictures in the paper it looks great. I would still like to meet to discuss this project. All of the beams have been delivered
