Counterbatten won't do f**k all for strength. How can it?

Up above, I probably wouldn't fancy going up there, even if those joists are 6/7" wide. If they tip over, through you go. Ply would help because it would brace the boards and distribute weight. Same if you nogged it with full width nogs.
Because each joist is now attached to the other and the weight will spread. A false ceiling would be better but frankly I don’t have the time. I know that’s a s**t thing to say but I don’t, and I still wouldn’t do anything on a job that I didn’t have faith in
 
How come didn’t just skim anyway? Takes alot for me to board lol.

Will be fine the weights distributed across joists.

I went to a job that was ‘boarded’ and not one screw was in joist and that ceiling stayed up. Was just screwed into the board above
Because it’s old and spongy and I always prefer boarding unless it’s realky not necessary

f**k's sake. Physics 101. Every joist is carrying same weight. Batten's not spread anything :p
 
Well that’s settled then. If @zombie says I’m good to go that’s good enough for me! He’s never been shy about yelling at me in the past so... in zombie I trust!
 
And the batten is irrelevant to that, you spakker. It won't distribute the weight and differently.

I wrote you a poem by the way.

Roses are red.
Violets are blue.
Pornhub is down.
So your facebook will have to do.
I disagree

And I just pissed myself at that! Lol!

Roses are red
The sky’s vermillion

Purple Aki comes to you. That's kind of the point.
Some people.
 
That ain't new he's been around for years
Oh I know he's not new. I'm 43 and knew all about him when I was a kid. He's been terrorising Merseyside for decades.

But I do like to introduce him to new people, like young @lurpak here. See his little eyes light up when he realises that monsters are real and there's a man running around the UK who can kill people just by peering through a train window at them.
