Hello
I wonder if anyone can help? My house has a double garage that is partially integral to the house. The garage roof is supported by trusses that follow the roof line down from the house.
The garage conversion will convert half of the garage to a room and I need to install two additional joists from below across the garage to support an extension to the bathroom above. The joists will span the outside (single skin brick wall) and an internal cavity wall. What's the best way to install the joists? I can't do it from above as the exiting roof trusses are in the way and if I use conventional joist hangers from the walls the joists wont go in. Are there any specialist joist hangers that allow the joist to be put in place from the side or do I need to form an opening in one of the walls?
Any help would be much appreciated!
Dave
