hi all,
i'm nearing the first floor stage with my extension, and i am wondering how is best to attach the 200mm floor joists to the existing house wall. i've searched the forum, i think i've found two main methods and i'm unsure which is best.
1 - attach a lenght of 50 x 200 along the existing wall and attach the hangers to this
2 - use heavy duty hangers directly attached to the wall
Are these the best/easiest methods? if so which one do you guy's recommend.
(i think that option 1 sounds easier to level but i'm unsure how to attach the 50 x 200 beam, coach bolts and plugs or resin)
any help appreciated - thanks in advance
