Hi all,
I have a raised portion of my landing, master bedroom (all in one line) that spans 2 floorboards. On closer inspection there is an RSJ below the floor meaning the floorboards doesn’t sit fully on the joists (the RSJ is slightly higher).
As a keen DIYer I’m trying to work out the best solution. So far I’m thinking:
A) get myself an electric planer and take back the floorboards to level.
B) remove floorboards above rsj and lay some timber on top of it to the right level with either side floorboards cutdown to fit.
C) (not sure this is feasible) make a cut out in the floorboard below for the RSJ so that it sits flush.
I’d really appreciate any advise/experience or other ideas you think are worth considering.
Thanks in advance
