I have searched...honest! I am a novice..Simple question...I am relaying new floor joists onto ground floor brick sleeper walls topped with new sleeper timber.
What's the procedure...Sleeper wall, thin bed mortar to stick the DPM, then thicker bed mortar to bed the timber sleeper, then joist?
What mix should for the mortar?
What is the best way to level the joists, I have plenty of slate for packing, Do I use this to level the joists before the mortar has set..or wait for it to set, then level the joists with slate?
Thanks all. Shimmy.
