Stiffening to accept a point load??
How important is it?
I have read the tables but I'm not looking forward to crawling under the house to retrofit a noggin. If it is needed I'll do it of course but if it can be avoided I will.
There is a hanging beam 150mm to the side of the opening
We are moving the bedroom wall over ~300mm, to give us just a little more space.
New common stud will go just where you can see the old diagonal brace at the existing doorway and the current opening will be filled in and moved over to the right starting at the 90*45 and using an oversized lintel and roof line noggins to take the load of some proposed roof line cupboards. There is also the possibility of using the 900 wide doorway to install a small niche. Some diagonal bracing has been removed in the past and I may use plywood or OSB to sheet the wall temporarily while we wait for the plaster finishing
So do I need to crawl under the house? If so I want to do it soon.
These pictures will also be copied to our "Go to Whoa" thread as this is a major part of the works
