I about to order some 100 x 47 timber for sistering joists on suspended floor.
The floor joists in one room are generally in good condition but as you can see from the picture they are made of two pieces of timber, joined in the middle. Because the wall plate is slightly bend some of the joists are a bit higher and some a bit lower where they join which makes for a slightly uneven floor at that particular spot.
Any thoughts on how to fix this?
I was thinking of sistering the joist, possibly one on each side. But how long should it be?
Any advice greatly appreciated
Thanks
