After a fair bit of destruction. A lot of that seems to happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taking away to old floor revealed a lot of rotten joists – due to close proximity of the (still) damp wall. They were also resting on some 1.5×2 steel angle which was just not up to what was needed for the future, and that was being held up with well rotted ‘rawl bolts’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All that got taken down, binned and new steel I beams placed on proper heavy duty columns. The I beams are somewhat larger than needed, and could probaly be used to hold up something rather larger, but hey – its me. They would also act as load bearing for two rather large wooden beams, that would have further joists hung off them to make the loft void floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following images should give some clue as to what all that means.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, there’s the upright, now just get that full sized joist up on the top and balance it there.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Now build that loo and get the stairs in.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Sorted.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

That being done, and access now available to the loft void, where work could begin on sorting this rather dirty, messy load of foundry dust out. Oh – deep joy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
