Hello Folks,
I am renovating an old bungalow and will be putting in floor joists on the ground floor. The height I need is 4" but what thickness is best and what distance centers? They will be laid on a solid concrete floor.
Its the old style high ceiling and I will be putting in a lowered ceiling at 8' foot height. The ceiling joists will be attached to the external walls. Again, whats the best width and thickness to use? In one section of the attic I will be making storage space as there is enough head height, so the joists there need to support this.
Many Thanks,
John
