Hi all
We have recently had our kitchen diner knocked through in to one room and have an RSJ obviously holding up the upstairs as it was a structural wall that was removed.
The issue I have now is that where the hob is being installed we are having an island hob extractor above it as it's on a kind of island/breakfast bar. The problem is right where the extractor needs installing is the RSJ. Whats the best way around this, the extractor mounting plate is too big to fit to the RSJ (which i wouldnt want to do and probably shouldnt do anyway) is the best way to screw some kind of timber noggins into the joists either side of the RSJ and then fit some ply to those then screw the mounting plate to that?
Any other suggestions at all or is what I'm thinking an OK idea? Just dont want it to look crap as its a really nice kitchen thats been fitted.
Cheers
