We had to make an template that would allow the foil to hand 100mm down. Once we made the template we rolled the foil across the joists and nailed em. We made sure the foil was running straight and touching the edges. If there were any holes then we had to go over the top again.
We then had to cut and measure the floor board and cut two parts to cover one half & the other 3 parts.
There was a nailing pattern for the flooring.
