Oldun or anyone else. I thought I'd best place another post rather than carry on from the roof post. Should open the advice up to anyone searchign in future.
I have the plans that my 'architects technician' drew up and reading the spec for the floor joists, he has suggested 95 x 47 joists at 400 centres, with a max span of 1.5m. This requires a sleeper wall over 2.7m obviously. He suggested 95 x 38 wall plates to hang these off.
How does all this sound. I'm still a little surprised that I need the sleeper wall, but happy to build it if necessary. May come down to the requirement of a gap of at least 150mm below the joist to oversite that will mean my timbers would be too big to avoid a sleeper wall.
How does the above sound to you? I plan to place 18/22 mm ply on top of these joist to bring up to internal floor board level and then solid wood flooring on top of that.
Many thanks
Mac
