Joist hanger - funny angle

[marsaday]

In the pic you can see the corner of the ceiling, which has a joist going in at a diagonal. This is holding up a chimney on the first floor area. The floor joists are spliced into this joist.

I need to extend my floor joists and some am adding a new run of 8 7x2 joists which will be screwed into the current 6x2" ones.

Going straight is no problem, but i wondered how do i hang the 4 joists going into the corner one ? Can you get a special hanger ?

You can get 45 degree hangers, but I've not seen other angles.

BC today said i could just cut them to fit and screw into the joist.

I will be bolting new joists next to the 4 joists going into this corner one. Quite easy really.
