Hi all,
I've had some work done to amend some dodgy gas work and cap off unused pipes.
While the floor was up the plumber commented on the state of 3 joists that had been cut as part of works done by the previous owner to block up a doorway.
Photos below:
Other side:
Close up of the screws:
So basically, plumber reckons that the pieces of timber should be bolted rather than screwed and he recommended adding some supports under the join which is tricky as the oversite is very uneven.
I'd appreciate any advice on type of bolts to use and how to achieve effective support given the uneven surface.
Cheers
