Dear group,

I have lived in my "first time buyer" terraced house for 21 years and
can't see myself "upgrading" in the forseeable future.

Having had the roof rebuilt, the 140 year old upstairs ceilings were shot
and I found it made sense to completely replace them with new timbers and
foil-backed plasterboard.

I am now faced with two non-level, bouncy and bendy upstairs floors and
given that the downstairs ceilings also need replacing, I am wondering if
this is the best solution here too. The under-spec. joists run front to
back and are (loosely) cemented in to the outside and stairwell walls so
the replacement joists would have to be attached to wallplates and
hangers. I plan to use 22mm t&g chipboard in anticipation that most buyers
in my area tend to want carpet or laminate upstairs rather than sanded
boards (I plan to have carpet upstairs and sanded boards downstairs).

Having lived in the street so long, my observations make me doubt any of
the other houses have had so much trouble expended on them ...

Am I completely barking ?

No.

You're doing what you want for your circumstances.Nothing else is important.

Mary

thanking you in anticipation ....
