I've stripped the plasterboard from the flat-roofed ceiling of the downstairs kitchen and bathroom. The last joist, adjacent to the partition walls, in both rooms is not secured down. Obvs this doesn't seem right to me.
Am I correct in the last joust should sit about 2 inches from the adjacent parallel wall?
In other words, I don't screw this last joist to the wall but instead need to screw it down at it's end presumably using straps of some sort?
