Why lift?
The object is to replace the sill plate, not elevate the building.
Take out a 12" section (chisel? Sawsall?) and replace it. Move to the next
section.
Where is it written that the sill plate has to be one big honkin' board?
Heck, there are houses that don't have any sill plates at all! (The most
famous one was Dorothy's house in the Wizard of Oz.)
