Hi all, installing an RSJ this weekend, have had the SE to to all calculations. I have a question relating to a padstone. The wall i am removing is single course between dining room and lounge supporting joists. The SE has said 9" pier on each side. He has suggested a 9" x 4" x 6" padsdtone. They all seem to be 215x215x102mm, 440x140x215mm,440x140x102mm. Is there one the exact size I need or do I have to cut a larger one down? or am I better using a lintel and cutting this down?
When I come to pack between the RSJ and padstone is slate ok to use or is there a better packing material?
Thanks
