How to replace two joists?
I suspect that this may be a "how long is a piece of string" type of
question, but thought I would seek the advice and knowledge of the group. We've just had the structural engineer round and the good news is that I don't have subsidence. The bad news is that the two joists that run directly underneath the back are rotten as hell. These joists run between the two external walls at either side of the bathroom and one of them butts up pretty close to the rear wall of the property. Access to them from beneath is pretty easy as theirs currently no ceiling in the kitchen beneath them. So, the question is, how hard a job is it likely to be for me to remove these two joists and replace them with new timber. Is it in the realms of DIY, or is it really a job for the professionals? I class myself as being fairly competent and unlikely to cut corners or do a bad job but still... As always, thanks for any and all advice. Seri |
