They complain a lot. Negative people tend to whine a lot, convinced that the whole world is against them. They are usually the victim of lousy weather, a difficult boss, bad luck, and their upbringing. They rarely step back to look at other factors â such as a lack of energy, creativity or simply hard work.
Country: I'm planning a DIY loft conversion project. I plan to strengthen the (ceiling) joists by sistering with wooden joists. The ceiling joists are 4.5 by 1.5 whilst the floor joists in the house are 7 by 2 (actual measurements).From my knowledge of beams (joists), the stiffness varies with the width and the cube of the height.he ceiling joists are 4.5 by 1.5 whilst the floor joists in the house are 7 by 2 (actual measurements).

To measure your floor to floor height, take a tape measure and start at the bottom floor and measure up to the floor where your stair is going. For example, if you are installing a stair on a deck, your floor to floor measurement would be the length between ground level and the finished deck flooring. Generally, our stairs are installed in two ways: coming off of a deck, loft, building, etcetera or the stairs are installed through a hole in a floor.
