    Levelling floor before laying vinyl flooring

    I don't think the OP is going to do that, in fact I don't think anybody (except you?) would do that, but each to their own :)

    Levelling floor before laying vinyl flooring

    I'd be inclined to shim and raise the wood rather than try and fill with something that may crack and crumble in time. Had a similar thing in my bathroom when I wanted to lay some thin lino over the floorboards that were a bit hit and miss so shimmed up as best I could, power planed off some...

    What is this joist doing?

    Didn't ask about bounce either but you know how things can go off at a tangent in these discussions, non existing leaks were mentioned in comment 10 but didn't like to mention it cos the writer was trying his best to be helpful bless , good to see you remaining focussed on the actual issue in...

    Willy waggling thats a new one for me, its so quaint sounding, something we would say in the infants schoolyard perhaps?

    What is this joist doing?

    Can't understand where you are coming from Noseall as we are in agreement on the requirement for struts/noggins as per TRADA spec. The only issue is whether you go above and beyond these requirements which, as I stated earlier, your original posting seemed to infer. To that end I was half...

    What is this joist doing?

    Who rattled your cage?? Depends what forces you are designing force, glad you are not my structural engineer, stick to mixing concrete (that would be 1-2-4 FYI)

    What is this joist doing?

    It certainly isn't a secret but don't know what your definition of short and long lengths are, TRADA gives struts (not noggins) at mid span for 2.5 - 4.5 m. I thought from your post that you were advocating struts or noggins at lesser centres to give give credence to your theory of transferring...
