Foundation issues - inspection
I'm buying an older house (built in 1917) and just completed an inspection and inspector listed a few foundation issues... Interested in hearing if anyone has faced these findings before and how large of a problem it is and how much budget (if any) you'd put towards it:
(1)...most of the sill/base plate of the home's exterior walls are not sitting flush on the stone (cement reinforced) foundation.
(2) Additionally the basement beam supports are old and should really be metal.

My thought is that this could be solved with metal wraps, some bolts from the wood into the concrete and filling foam.

My thought is that this could be solved using a heavy duty anchor, similar to this:

None of these issues seem particularly troublesome but interested in everyone's thoughts and experiences. Thanks!
