Hi all,
Just after a bit of advice/confirmation.
We have haves a 2 storey side extensions.
For the 1st floor I want to find the finished floor lever of the current house - transfer that point to the outside mark it etc. etc.
The span is 4m
Fix wood wall plates to the existing side wall and to the new extended wall then fit floor joist with hangers to that.
MY questions are really - when fixing the wall plates (44x195) to the wall what is best to use?
On the existing is 100mm brick 75mm cavity which will now be an internal wall so cavity bridging not an issue. (at least I don't think)
On the new thermalite wall, 100mm block 100mm cavity.
I don't want to drill all the way through the blocks.
I've read from multiple places either resin in some studs and bolt the wall plate to that.
Even seen advise of brown rawl plugs - this seems a bit lightweight to me
How about anchor bolts?
Have yet to ask BC - he's not the most approachable.
Any advice greatly apricated.
