Today we started a new frame using the pre-cast "superior walls". I got to the job and found out the walls were 5/8ths out of level over 30'. So I called the rep, he came to the job, we went back and forth for a couple of hours, him saying maybe my level is off, it's not that bad etc. I also started a new helper today, so I got him working setting mudsills (2x10's w/ bolts every 2 feet) we fixed all of the out of level problems and got all the sills set. So I am sitting home tonight and it just hit me I didn't put any sill seal under the mudsills. I have 5 new rolls still sitting on the job. This is a garage and rec room combo in the basement area. I'm worried that I am screwed and the sills need to come up. I'm not sure what the code is on this, because we always just use the sill seal. Does anyone know if the code requires sill seal when there is a conditioned living space in the basement? Also is there anything I can do to fix the problem? The sills are shimed up about 7/16th in one area so there is a gap in a few places between the foundation and sills. Can I just chaulk w/ NP1 or another product? Any tips or information would be helpful. I don't think I am required to have the sill seal, I just feel dumb for forgetting to put it in. Thanks for any help.
