hi, due to my bco demanding i build a fire safe corridor in my living room i have decided to knock the full scale loft conversion on its head. However i am a keen guitarist and i would like to use the loft as my music room/guitar storage room. The loft joists are 3x2 and are connected to the roof by vertical timbers.
i have ordered some 5x2 joists which i am going to fix (using joist hangers) into the gable ends and then hang the existing 3x2 off these.
As far as the flooring goes i have some t and g whitewood flooring left over which i can use.
How would you reccomend i strengthen the exdisting 3x2. youre advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Andy
