Deluks,
The room is 20' wide and 26' long (split into 2x13' by a load bearing wall).
Is it possible (and legal) to run joists acroos the room instead of parralel to the existing joists. These are nowhere near level.
What size joists should be fitted either parralel to existing or acroos the room.
I know a lot of people say this on the forum, but I have no intention of doing this myself. I'm a spark and wouldn't dream of tackling a job which could make the structure of my house unsafe. I just want some idea of what's involved.
