We've recently had extra insulation put in the attic
We got this for free as part of a grant the council were giving out
We had to empty the attic
I need to use the space for storage
The guys that did the insulation said that I could just get extra beams and lay them down the opposite direction to the existing beams
I wanted to know, how do I screw the new beams in?
The existing beams would be 5cm across and 10cm down
I thought I would need to put the new beams down in the same way - i.e. instead of 10cm across and 5cm down - does that make sense?
Do I need to get screws that are longer than 10cm and screw directly down?
This seems the only logical way!
ALSO: how do I part the insulation? How do I cut it?
(Is the answer: use a really really big pair of scissors!?)
ANY advice would be great
Thanks
