Fiting Joists & Steels | Extension #6

In Part 6 of The Extension series, which follows the build of a side and rear extension on a semi-detached property, we see the joists and steels slotted into position in preparation for the removal of a load bearing wall at the back of the house. The wall is being knocked out to extend the existing kitchen and create a kitchen/diner on the ground floor and an additional bedroom on the first floor. This episode includes: Cutting joists to fit the steel beam Spacing the joists out with noggings and the challenges associated installing joists and steels. Using Strongboys to support the outer and inner skin at the same time Trimming the existing floor joists so they can sit in the web of the steel beam Cutting out the brickwork Lining up the holes of the two steel beams Bolting timber on to the steel beam for the jiffy hangers Expansion joints Insulation Using jiffy haners/joist hangers This episode features products from: Evolution; Snickers Workwear; Milwaukee; Fein; Bosch; Arbotech; Stabila; Ecotherm; Teco and Rhino Scaffolding. =================================================== Don't forget to stay up to date with Skill Builder!
