Install the band joist. The band joist, also called a rim joist, sits vertically on top of the sill plate. Use the same size lumber for the band joist as you will for the main floor joists; 2x10s (50x250 mm) are an appropriate size for most applications. Position each board vertically so that its edge is flush with the outer edge of the sill plate, and then toe-nail the board to the sill plate with framing nails.
If the spacing between the ceiling joists is the same as between the roof railers, there will be a rafter next to every joist. Often, the joists are laid out 16 inches OC and the roof rafters 24 inches OC. Therefore, every other rafter can be placed next to a ceiling joist.oists are the most important framing members of the ceiling. Their size, spacing, and direction of travel are given on the floor plan. As mentioned earlier, the spacing between ceiling joists is usually 16 inches OC, although 24-inch spacing is also used.
