Dear All, we have a brick, 1920s bungalow that a is 46x19, that has to cuts into some of the joists that are 2" in depth x 24" long on some of the 2x8x8'-7" joists. These are supported at an 8' 1" distance from one of the brick walls by 6x6" beams and columns.
My questions are for proper sintering another 2x8 onto structure.
When sintering do I want to block both ends?
Are the use of joists hangers inaddition to nailling and gluing prior to sintering advisable?
Do I cut into brick pocket to add new sister too? note other end is resting on 6x6 beam.
There is no noticeable floor sag except at opening of stairwell for basement. However, there are some joists I can see that have some twisting or cupping action on them, very slight.
Load on flooring are 3/4 x 6 x X in length boards, these are then covered with 1-1/2" plywood which is covered with new 3/4" x 4" Brazilian cherry flooring.
