Oh No, its me again The semi-self builder..
I have now got all my materials and am ready to start fitting the ceiling to the upstairs bedroom.
I am planning to fit the 2.4m lengths of board across the beams which have 600mm centres.
My question is that if I fit the board to butt up against the blockwork, the other end of the board does not quite reach the beam. i.e, it upsets the 600 centres.
If I was to slide it along a little, it would make contact with the 600mm centre, but leave a gap between the board and the blockwork at the start.
Is it normal to fit a noggin, or leave a gap at the edge?
I have found a good site with great help on ceilings and walls etc; but it didn't address my question.
