I am building a 20x24 garage on a slab-on-grade foundation. I have completed one wall and have a pressure treated sill plate glued and ramset down onto the slab. However for reasons I won't go into here I will end up with a plate on the bottom of my wall (non-treated) on top of the in-place treated plate, effectively 2 sill plates. The topmost bottom plate will then be nailed to the true sill plate when the wall is erected. Is this ok structurally? Any other concerns?
