Hi,
I have a question, we are starting a renovation and have an old double brick house. We are needing to frame a floor for a new bathroom. Our carpenter was starting to do this floor frame but wanted to seek some advice, due to a few things I'm forseeing,
- Existing double brick wall has some dampness down low
- Carpenter proposed to fix the frame to the existing brick wall on one side and a strip footing on the other side
Having a look at other subfloors of family members they have footings, then gal steel flashing, the bearers and then joists.
Wondering what the carpenter is proposing is a good way forward, or if we will run into issues with the dampness.
Could go down the route of concreting internally but also concerned that this will lead to issues with dampness, which is why we were thinking to keep the subfloor open.
Thanks in advanced.
