    Don’t line this with pink plasterboard and skim as this will not take the heat. cement boards are used and can be tiled onto, or clap brick slips direct onto wall or cement boards. 150mm is required around the all 3 sides of the fire

    I mean they might end up running out. So if I’m putting timer joist between they might be 6.5m at the start and then 6.3m and the over end. Or they might be 6.5m centres but running on a angle but the centres are the same.
