_Across_ the party wall? Do you mean _penetrating_ the PW so that part
of your steel joists will be visible from your neighbours' side of the

your sides.

Of course houses vary in construction but with mine the party wall is 9"
brick so you simply remove one bricks worth of thickness and cast in a
padstone.
