I have exposed the wood work where i am going to put my new staircase.
The joist it will be built off goes into the wall where a window is below. I think this joist rests on the internal wooden lintel.
You can see they have extended the floor area so they can build a stud wall
just off this joist. The extra piece of flooring joists is bolted to the current joist, but also rest into the brick work at the side of the window.
I dont think i can build off this extended piece and so will have to go backwards and build from the floor joist (2x9").
This will mean extra weight will be placed on the internal wooden lintel.
So i assume i will need to replace this with a concrete lintel.
any advise ?
