Hi all,
I am hoping to convert my loft. It will have to be mostly a DIY project due to a small amount of founds.
I've been reading on the net, bought a CD off e/blag, and got a book from the library but there's a question regarding supporting the new floor that I can't find the answer to. Here's the question....
All the illustrations I have seen show setting two RSJ's into the walls at each end of the loft i.e. the party wall (my house is a semi) and the gable wall at the other end, one either side of the loft, then timber joists inbetween.
But....my house has a sloping roof (hip ?) at the end, so thers's no wall to set the RSJ's in. The outside wall is under the eves so can't get to that !
so how's it done ?
thanks in advance, george
