I've recently moved and the house i bought was built in the 1930's. 2 rooms had bouncy floors. The bounce was along the outside wall. When i lifted the floorboards i noticed that some of the wall on which the joists rest was missing i.e. the joists are resting on the wooden wall plate but the bricks on which the wall plate rests, well some are missing. The bricks have not fallen down, because they would be lying on the sollom. The reason the floors are bouncy is because some of the supporting wall is missing. Any suggestions as to why some of the wall is missing and how is the best way to supprt the joists.
