I need to replace rotted sole plate around an addition on the back of my house. I do not want to mess up the interior and I am soon to reside the exterior.

How to I support the existing structure in order to replace the sole plate?

Should there be a vapor barrier between the concrete and the sole plate?

Where can I get more information on "how to" replace the sole plate correctly?
