hi guys,

firstly apologies if the terminology is wrong (feel free to correct it!)

as the title states, does a 2nd story wall plate (which will have the floor joists bearing on them) resting on the first story external brick wall need damp course?
i can only assume it would as if the bricks get drenched with rain, the water may be soaked into the timber and over time rot..

or am i missing something?
