Lovely people on this forum, we removed an ugly wardrobe from our room and discovered the wardrobe was actually covering a chimney base. Previous owners have removed the chimney but not supported the floor. Anyway, long story short we now need to put in two new joists:
1) Joist span 3.25m
2) Joist size (old 100+ years) 2 x 7 inches. Getting this joist size was challenging. We got a nearest match and will trim to the old joist height.
3) Joist will fix to a ledger(header?) attached on one wall and rest in the web of the steel beam on the other end.
I am planning to get Simpson (strong tie), face mount joist hanger (timber to timber). Will someone be kind enough to please let me know what size joist hangers do I need?
Thanks in advance, HL
