I have installed my Beam on my 4x4 posts. I also installed my rim joists. There appears to be a slight pitch toward the house when I put the level on- Before I install my joists, is this something I should be concerned about? If so, how do I correct it without taking things apart?

If you put your 4x4's in post piers, you could add a little shim under them. How much slope (in inches) is there from one ind to the other ? You could add a long shim on you beam that runs parallel to your house.
