To be honest Dave I got out the circular saw and cut down through the
T&G, did a great job expcept that on the first cut the depth plate
slipped and I cut a 1" slot in the ceiling joist. Can't see it
being a problem as it's a 20cm deep joist, however, will make good
using 'sister' pieces and bolts.

Oh dear. ;-) I tend to use a jigsaw for this sort of thing, with a
blade snapped off to the maximum depth of cut I need. Slower than a
circular saw, though.

I'll replace the old c.board with new and screw them down not nail
gun it.

Absolutely. Screws don't come loose.


Except in junction boxes?
