Question for the Chippies about restumping a Victorian style house
I've restumped a few houses so I know the nuts and bolts.
Though most of my work's been on new houses not real oldies.
I've got an old victorian house with the old type of construction.
Where all the walls sit on stumps and not bearers. The floor frame is built on bearers and stumps.
On this house one some of the bottom 3 x 2 hw wall plates are on the ground and need totally replacing. Thats a bit of a pain but its easy nuff to fix.
I would like to organise materials without taking a special trip and ripping boards off just to stickybeak but I've forgotten whether the stumps were normally 4 ft or 6 ft spacings.
I hope one of the chippies can tell me what stump spacings were normally used under walls.
