nccer 27105 - floor systems 48min when installing a joist, end - nail it to the header joist and toenail it to which of the following? sill plate subfloor top plate bottom plate
When installing a joist, it is a common construction practice to end - nail it to the header joist and toenail it to the top plate. This helps in providing structural stability and proper alignment within the floor system. The sill plate is at the base (usually on top of the foundation), the subfloor is the layer above the joists, and the bottom plate is part of wall framing (lower part), while the top plate is in a position that makes it a logical connection point for the joist when considering the overall floor - framing structure.
