i am new to this site and have a ? i was hoping someone would be kind enough to help me with. i am wanting to build new house with no-step entry from garage to main level. my ? is- i have 16" web floor trusses designed and with no step entry, do i notch basement walls so that trusses sit on notch of basement wall. that way trusses are not up against grade/dirt/rock under garage floor. or how do they usually do that? my basement will have 9' walls, so in doing this, i will need 10' 4" - 1 1/2" (treated plate)= 10' 2 1/2" wall with 16" notch for floor trusses to sit on. i was figuring 8" thick wall so notch would be 4". does this seem right to you guys? cant really come up with any other ideas.
does anyone have much experience with these type of designs? any help is greatly appreciated.
thanks,
Matt
