I would throw some joist hangers on and run them the same direction as the
rest of the joists

Subject: [DIY] floor "repair" question
After removing the old (non-working) floor furnace, there's a 2 ft by 3 ft
hole in the floor that needs to be filled. (Quick trip to the basement if
it isn't. <g>) I've got everything I need to do it. My question...should
the 2x6 supports underneath go the 2 ft way, or the 3 ft way, or does it
matter? The floor joists for the rest of the floor go the 3 ft way, but
obviously there was framing to support the floor furnace. Logic tells me
the 2 ft way is stronger, but.... Maybe I'm just over thinking the whole
thing. LOL
Thanks in advance.
