[QUOTE="Retired Educator, post: 253304, member: 3373"] Sounds pretty much like what we did. Attached new joists to the existing joists with screws. Wouldn't really matter which way the existing joists run as long as you attach to same joists the pattern is the same. Our use of a rotating laser was pretty handy but a fairly long straight-edge that you could use with a level would do the same thing. The rotating laser is also very handy if you are going to replace the suspended ceiling at some point. I'm thinking that 2 or 3 of us did a 32X16 ft room in about a week or less. That is demo, straighten out the joists and new flooring. Demo was tearing out an old hardwood floor which takes a little longer tearing out that many boards. [/QUOTE]
