Joist Hangers: too many holes?

[scottishjohn]

shoot me down if you like 

but why are you putting first joist so close to  end wall.

spacing is 400mm I read .

so why not use some of you old wall plate,as i believe you replaced the old ones cos they were too short for those hangers to add to end walls so floor can sit on them --then move first joist away  from end wall bit more  --then do your 400 centres 

plenty of space to swing a hammer then

That’s a solution I have never heard of before and it makes sense! But it will have to be the same depth as the joists to carry the ceiling below. (Nail a bit on! ).
