Any suggestions chaps?


Well I would cut several strips of ply the depth of the joist and
screw + glue them on either side so the tops are at the finished
height. Then I would get a hand saw and lie it across the ply and saw the
top
off. Stager the joints in the ply and use it as the reinforcement.


Dennis,

It's rare for me to openly contradict another poster here, but with all due
respects, I think you really are talking through your hat!


Makes a change. Denboi usually talks through his arse.
