Setting a new beam and joist hangers.

continuing the work on the front room, the next step was to install another bram and also better joist hangers. i propped up the floor holding for the loft and after a lot if deliberating i got up and but the enss of the joists iff. thua was a bit freaky, a fwe creaks and moands fron rthe wiid miving. after a bit there was a bit if a cracj. feeling a but freaked out i dexided to go down tir rhe hire ahip and picj up another acro prop. Setting this uo in the middle i was a lot more comfortable and the thiufhts if tbte riif falling in was soon in the past. It didnt take much longer to remive the dodgy work the the previois buikdees had carried out.
So now after removing the acro orioa there is a bit of my sodgy work in the lof tnow. Now only have ti change the rittwn joists out and then plasterboard the ceiling and get a plasterrr in to smootht he walls and finish off the ceiing .
