I have got to the junction where the extension (8"x2"joists) meets the original house (4"x2" joists) and I have a little section approximately 1.2m x 1.2m.
I am thinking of bolting some new 4x2's to the originals and flying them in to the 8" ledger board you can see in the photo which is the start of the new works.
Are joist hangers neceserry or can I bolt a 4x2 to the ledger board and sit the joists on top?
This section of floor is in the hallway so will only take foot traffic. As the original ground floor is in 4x2 I assume this small span will also be fine.
