Ground floor for bungalow: joists better than a slab?
Simplysimon replied to Dreadnaught's topic in Timber Frame
if you chop them down it'll only get boggy again, would break up the soil though. heard yesterday on gqt about a guy planting sugar beet on his ground, waited until roots had gone deep and broke the soil down and dug it all in to improve the quality. -

200mm of kooltherm under the pipes here though not a refurb so easier to install

@scottishjohn, just read the particulars - 'and has good road networks to Ayrshire, Glasgow and beyond.' don't know how that truth was stretched without breaking unless they mean, drive along the a75 to the m74 then drive to glasgow and south to ayrshire.

@Roz, i'm trying to understand the reason for the 150x150 oak, if the underside is seen, then the wallplate will be seen as well and won't match? if you use joist hangers they will be seen on the underside, housing the trimmers in would be neater.
