Floor joist on sill plate.
Align one edge of a standing joist with the appropriate layout mark on the sill plate.
Great video explaing band sill and why you need to air seal this area.

The main beam itself is held up by large support columns installed every few feet.
Whether the plans call for blocking or a rim joist nailing the joists to the sill plate is the first step.
Step 15 because sill plate ends will not have floor joists resting on them i wanted to add two concrete anchors one at each ends of sill plates to further secure my sill plates so i drilled a hole using 5 8 rotary concrete bit and my right angle ryobi drill.
The ends of the floor joists rest on the sill plate while the center of the joists rest on the main beam.
