  • Dear hive mind,

    The wall which ruined the layout of our downstairs has gone, as has the chimney breast which made this a mammoth task.

    We would like the back bit (concrete floor) to be our tiled kitchen, and where that ends to be where our pine floorboards start.

    This means somehow filling a gap which used to be a wall and a chimney breast and a hearth with floorboards, somehow. There are no joists underneath.

    Is this doable? How would it be done? Sourcing the floorboards should be okay, but what would they attach to?

  • That sounds like it would involve a lot of digging and a lot of building - and I assumed the wall was built on top of some kind of foundations. Could the floorboards not be laid on top of that somehow?
