Nice jig/gizmo, very handy when no one is at the other end to hold the measuring tape. Taking a little more off is good as the ridge board probably isn't perfectly flat, most likely a bow?

Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

Well that took a lot longer than I thought it would and only one side of the room finished.
A lovely row of hangers awaiting their joists.

Ian you mentioned above local rules and screws or nails. Are building regs/controls relevant for a construction inside an existing building?

Unfortunately yes, can’t even put a shelf up without a permit in this state! Widely ignored of course.
There are 6 really fat galvanised nails that hold the hanger to the lintel, and 4 special 2 1/2” construction screws that go in diagonally through the side of the joist and into the lintel. It’s up to me whether I use screws or nails and this is the mixture I’ve decided on.
