We are repairing our attached side enclosed porch.
22' by 8'.
12 windows and 2' wall. All wall studs on 22' outer wall will be replaced with double pressure treated 2 by 4's. Pressure Treated 2 by 8's under 2 by 12 horizontal sill(?)
All nailed with 3" stainless steel ring shanked nails.
Under each double 2 by 4 is a 2 by 8 nailed to support beams underneath the floor.
All floor joists will be sistered with same size standard lumber with 3/8-1/2" bolts , washers and lock nuts, plus hot dipped galv 3" nails.
4" thick granite 18" square blocks with 4 by 4 or 6 by 6 timbers for supports under floor joists.
No poured cement footing for side pirch, just a few for corners of front porch.
Originally was a open wrap around porch, then side porch was enclosed with windows and a knee wall.
Not sure I want to use construction adhesive for sistering beams.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Not sure how many supports to put in under the porch floor and the perimeter beams.
Two huge ciculating hot water radiators at either end of enclosed porch.
Thanks
