I think the redid the floor. They did not double up the joists, but laid new ones over the top of the old ones at right angles, I think.

Thanks for all the replies - I will try to read them carefully and reply with any questions I have soon. In the mean time here are more pics. I will be going over to his house tomorrow to see what else has been done.

Keep the jokes coming guys but try to add some building advice in them too. What would BC have told him to do - or is it not possible for anyone to say from that picture I gave? Would some dimensions help? I would like to get as much info as I can before the builder comes back. That way I...
