Ed Davies Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 OK, thanks. But was the blocking crimped on on site or at the factory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexphd1 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 What exactly do you mean with block crimp? The joist was made at the factory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Davies Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 There's blocking at the end of the joist, two bits vertically between the chords which are held in place by those crimped-on spiky things. Just wondering if they were done at the factory or on site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexphd1 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 All that was done at factory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Neil Posted January 16, 2019 Author Share Posted January 16, 2019 @Alexphd1. What sort of delivery time did you get on the joists following order. Are we talking more like 2 weeks or 10? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexphd1 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Less than 2 weeks think 8 or 9 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexphd1 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 He drew up drawings when we where 1st doing our plans. I used this and supplied him basic sketches with dimensions. Cut down on his paper work, I received a verbal price within a few hours and went into the production queue. Maybe just lucky with the manufacturer's order books.

Big Neil Posted January 17, 2019 Author Share Posted January 17, 2019 bloody quick that. I suppose if you can use that as programmed downtime during a project, it makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Neil Posted January 18, 2019 Author Share Posted January 18, 2019 Quick thought. Where you put the joists sat on top of the pole plate, would you only ever do it with an extended top cord sat atop said plate, or the whole joist? In the case of the first do you make up any difference between joist and plate lower edge (for purposes of plasterboarding primarily) with counter battens? IN the case of the second where you have a whacking great difference, do you batten the walls and then take advantage ot that by using the gap as a service voidd as well?

Mulberry View Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Very handy post this one. Just what I was looking for. I've been contemplating the method so I can plan for my floor joists pre-pour and the method I had in my head is pretty much exactly as per the video @Russell griffiths shared. Russell, I assume you still advocate this method now we're a few years down the line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you put anything between your concrete and timber @Russell griffiths? @Alexphd1 used pieces of DPM I believe....

Nope, why, are you expecting the concrete to be wet ? concrete and aluminium then separating layer definitely. Concrete and wood, no separation needed.

WiltshireLink Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Sorry if I missed it, but what size anchor bolts did you use? I just got some 9x2 boards and my god they're heavy! Did you hang them before pour of set the bolts with a bit of board and then attach the board once set? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've posted a new topic in this section. Feel free to check it out and ask any questions. It was a fair bit of prep, but eliminates the steps later on.
