EXAMPLES FROM CORPUS
▪
Any time you interrupt more than one joist , the adjacent joists must be doubled to carry the load.

Clip them securely to the joists and to the cistern platform; this will also reduce noise from the system.

If there is only one, pick up the carpeting and make sure the plywood is secured properly to the joists.
▪
In either case, you will have to find the ceiling joists and mark their positions on the wall.
