I need to build a suspended timber floor, using 8x2 c24 treated timber in the garage.
Given that the garage is not level
I was planning on tackling it as follows:
Fix one of the wall plates to the wall using 140mm rawlbolts with a 30mm drop and then hang one joist so i can then determine and get an exact level of where to fix the second wall plate on the opposite end
Is this the best way to do it?
Any pointers or tips on how I can ensure i have a level floor and ensure there is a drop of 30mm end to end?
The 30mm drop is to account for the chipboard flooring and laminate flooring which will then bring me to the finished floor
