Hi,
I'm doing a fairly large loft conversion and my structural engineer has specified triple 145x45 C16 floor joists bolted to the existing roof trusses with M10 Grade 8.8 nuts and bolts and washers and timber connectors between each timber- holes at 60cm centres.
It's a very large bungalow conversion so I estimate I will have to drill approx 1500 holes. I don't expect drilling these holes to be easy and would appreciate any advice or tips on how to do it.
Thanks
Tony
