Hi, I was wondering if anyone can advise me on how to seat a 4x2 timber wall plate on top of this lot. Its going to be lay on the 4" side so it sticks up 2". As you can see in the picture, above the patio opening, the hd lintel sticks above the block work whereas it does not on the rest of it. Do I simple use a thinner strip of wood to pack up the wall plate? https://1drv.ms/i/s!AodWX_Nf8CXnmG2lx_sMi2rvhJsA https://1drv.ms/i/s!AodWX_Nf8CXnmHVImTOebYUQGWEb
You bed the wall plate down on a bed of mortar and use straps to hold it in place as per normal. This should be on the plans.
