Problem is the floorboards (chipboard panels) did not stop at the wall (stud wall) of the bathroom, but continued on under into the bedroom. the joist is now directly under the stud wall and i've had to cut the floorboard at the edge of the room, parallel with the stud wall.. I'm refitting our bathroom & as the floorboards are in very poor condition, was going to replace with 18mm wbp ply, to be finished with vinyl. however - there's a stud wall between the bathroom & landing that's a more recent addition, and its sole plate is sitting directly on the floorboards.. I'm about to replace the solid wood floorboards in the bedroom, but it appears the existing floorboards run underneath the wall and continue in to the 2nd bedroom? wall appears to be made of a breeze block type material (1950's house)...
Including guides to carpentry, roofing, brickwork and stonework, stud walls, concreting, rendering, glazing, gardening, home security, plastering, plumbing, tiling and much more. from simple tasks to complete projects, if you want to improve your diy skills, this is a great place to start.. Stud wall on joists is the norm for timber floor boards. don't forget to double joist at either end of cubby, parallel to floor boards, with a gap between the joists so the bottom plate can attach to joists and so too can the floor board.. The joist under this wall was right on the very edge. this meant that the floorboards had to be cut flush with the face of the wall and there was nothing to fix the ends of the new floorboards to. a 3 inch x 1 inch batten was treated and screwed to the side of the exposed joist giving some bearing to the end of the new boards. hearth. hearth.
