A considerable amount of headscratching is going on down in the floorspace. The Old floorboards,dwarf walls and joists had 125 years to form the perfect partnership together. The fact that some of the joists have to be replaced with lovely new dead straight ones is not going down well.
If the new joists were simply laid down on the old dwarf walls then we would have a floor like a shallow roller coaster - those in buggies would get a thrill on a Sunday morning on the way out to creche but it would get a little wearing for the rest of us trying to balance chairs on the top or bottom of the curves.
Out comes the string and crucial chunks are taken out of the joists to try and balance everything up and emulate 125 years of settlement,wear,winters,movement,occasional mini earthquakes etc, etc ,etc. Good luck lads.
