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.
To figure the amount of floor joists needed, I use a different method. If the length of a building is 32', I take that length times 4 and divide it by 3 and add 1. The total amount of joists needed in this example is 25 pieces.I use this same method to figure ceiling joists and rafters.Sheet goods like plywood and foam sheathing are figured by using the square footage formula length x width /32 = number of pieces of plywood.he total amount of joists needed in this example is 25 pieces.
