Speaking as an amateur: Why not just put the new joists half way between the old? Is the SE asking for bolts and noggins? That all seems a little OTT to be honest, unless you're planning to bathe in plutonium. You might find (with advice from others on here or look at span tables) that having...

I would concentrate on insulating the sound coming from next door into your underfloor (sideways), and not worry about stopping sound coming up into the room from under your floor (upwards), so I wouldn't be trying to sound insulate anything other than the edges of the underfloor

Reading the original post, the nature of the sounds heard are airborne, rather than structure conducted, so less of a problem than you might think.

I'm wondering if there might be a misunderstanding here about the direction the sound is travelling. Is it that the sound is coming sideways from rooms in the house next door?

Is there much insulation above the plasterboard?

If you have wall cupboards above work surfaces, then LED strips under the cupboards at the front, work really well in our kitchen. We've also run LED strips around the wall-ceiling meeting place to replace downlighters, which replaces the fluorescent strips really well.

Glyphosate doesn't kill moss I very much doubt that the moss is causing the problem You've got some odd looking flashing there that a professional might be able to suggest a correction to I suspect the damp patch is caused by a combination of lack of ventilation, and poor insulation above the...

I'm always suggesting that people should do more breathing in the summer, and then have the discipline to not breath during the winter. I can never understand why people don't act on this sensible advice

Did you have this mould problem before the tap leak?

...still loving my hubimex kettle... ...cool enough to lick on the outside (always good if you've a kettle licker in the family), very efficient indeed, low power, choice of temperature, and keeps the water hot for a long time...

I've not tried either of these, but they may help: https://octopus.compare/ https://www.octopriceuk.app/compare Or you may find another third party tool online. I use the OctopusWatch app and do recommend it.

I guess I'd want to be fairly confident that the source of the water had been addressed before looking at how to decorate...

Periscope?

If you're confident to cut it, you could do so so that the edges are parallel with the walls either side, then put some white filler either side.

If it was mine I"d replace the wood with a plastic plank, so it doesn't rot, then use stainless or decking screws to fix it. Is water getting into the greenhouse a problem?
