what between steel and wood joists?
I have inserted a steel beam under a broken floor,
and chiseled under the joists so I can get it in, but there are irregular gaps in between of about half an inch and less. The joists will sit on the metal beam. How shall I fill the gap? Some bits of slate and readymix cement? or car body filler? But mightnt they crumble as I adjust things? Something a bit flexible like HardAsNails? Or lime mortar? It's only holding up a floor and a bath, so it doesnt have to be super strong, but i want it to last a hundred years. thanks [george] |
