wood joists into brick wall pockets or anchored?
wood joists into brick wall pockets or anchored?
(OP)
i took down old joists improperly cantilevered and want to run new joists between bearing brick walls- should i cut out pockets in the brick walls or run headers tied into opposite brick walls with adhesive anchors? which is the more suitable, and or easier/time saving method?

IMHO, cutting pockets into the wall could cause more "trouble" than it solves - never know what can happen when pieces are removed.
Probably the safest way would be to use "through-bolts" for anchorage, if this can be done.
