Good afternoon all,
I am laying 18mm tongue and groove chipboard flooring in the area above my garage for storage of light/bulky things.
At the centre of the joists where the braces come down from the roof there are a number of rough sawn 1x4 planks nailed to the joist. I am wondering if they are structural or whether they can be safely removed and replaced with the chipboard? It will be much easier to just cut notches in the chip rather than working it around these!
Pictures tell a thousand words, so some are attached.
Thanks for any help,
Jamie
