Ive got one wall that is out of square by a lot...to the tune of having the 2 x 6 hanging off the foundation by almost 2 inches in one 14" section. And thats with the 2 x 6 touching the inside of the foundation wall. What can I do to support the section thats hanging off?
Thanks in advance!
A steel angle possibly. Is the total wall length 14"? If that's it then modify the framing to accomodate the foundation wall (I don't mean angle it :) )

I'm just curious. I'm not sure how you can have a wall that far out of square in a 14" section without having problems elsewhere in your foundation. To me it sounds as if an offset moved while pouring. Otherwise is guess you foundation guy must have made one wall 2 to 3 inches too long. Just food for thought.

Dont know about the "little girl" part....I reserve that term for S2000 drivers! :twisted: These guys are flying though....fastest framers Ive ever seen. Checked their floors with a 6' level last night. I couldnt ask for the deck to be more level.
First floor exterior walls will be framed today.
