Default Re: Wood Frame body sill -Cutout at rear frame corner ?

Sounds like you were very careful in preparing removal to avoid any sudden jolting or causing any twisting while lifting.

Good time to check frame for alignment, any sagging, & being level.

Good time to check wood structure -- if wood is painted, give it the old timer's wood boat test -- the point on a pocket knive can ease right through the cosmetics of new paint on a questionable area to find rotten wood -- if wood is solid, the knife point will immediately let you know.

Good time to paint frame & exercise same care in reassembly.
