To be honest Dave I got out the circular saw and cut down through the

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?


Well, only ones behind walls with new tiles.
