Twisted main Joist
Dec 6th, 2009, 11:01am
 
Doing up my en-suite I have hit a major snag.
The room is about 2m square. The floor deck consists of a standard joist that runs along the outside wall, then a bigger joist (7x4) parralel to the other with a space just big enough to put the main waste. The rest of the joists are "hung" from the big one at right angles to form the majority of the en-suite floor.

The problem :-
After removing the boards from where I want the wet room former, the main joist (7x4) that the joist hangers are fixed to is twisted and so forms a a high ridge. This wasn’t a problem when it was a traditional shower tray, floor boards and carpet, but now it buggers up the level for the wet room tray.

I can’t see how I can work the joist to remove the effect of the twist without moving the joist hanger top portion out of the way as I do each section. I have thought about re-positioning the main shower area but it does mean less than ideal positions for the basin and radiator and I have no plans to move the toilet location because of how the main waste pipe is presented.

Any suggestions would be most welcome. Undecided

answer here please
