"Xeroid" - TJI Joist 110 11-7/8 inches PROBLEM
- I contacted the manufacturer of this joist before install. They told
me it was the right residental joist I needed for my floor spanning
about 17' 6". They told me I could space them either at 16 inches with
bracing or on 12" centers without bracing. I installed them on 12"
centers. 5/8 TG Plywood is screwed into place as the sub floor.
PROBLEM ... the floor is way to bouncy. One...

Obviously, the farther North you go, the farther down the frost will go.
Here in upstate NY, they want all footings to be dug 42" below grade.

"Lil' Dave" - Frost line
- See alot of replies that talk about frost line in relation to footings and
foundation depth. Makes sense due to water expansion as it freezes. Frost
line per many websites is where the soil moisture will not freeze at a
certain depth. It really confuses me as this varies on location, all things
being equal. So, my common sense kicked in and it may be determined by the
anticipated low...

working with steel channels.

"DanG" - Re: SLAB INSULATION
- RO,
I wish I really had an answer. The normal product to use is
rigid foam board. It has some compressive strength value, though
I don't remember what it is. I would be concerned that the carpet
padding would not have any compressive strength, and on that basis
I would hesitate to use it. It may do swell as a vertical cold
barrier on the inside of the footing as a thermal bre...

If you don't mind cracks and/or movement. It's insulation, but I'm not
sure that's the best place to recycle padding.
