Evening
My floorboards and joists have woodworm. I treated them a couple of years ago but have decided to take out the entire lot and replace all of it.
I needed some advice on fitting the new joists. The joists have come out of the wall quite neatly a couple had broken joists within the wall but got them out.
Fitting new ones can I cut them slightly shorter one end so it can slide them back in? Then re pug them?, or should I install joist hangers? should I put them in the same position where the holes in the wall are or offset them slightly.
Many Thanks
