Finally, it's time to lay the joists for the extension! But how do I attach it to the existing wall in a good way?
2 inch tongue and groove plank frame with 34 mm insulation on, hence the exterior stud... On the foundation wall, there is what I believe is a sill at 70 mm and above it a 45x34 stud nailed and then about 100 mm up to where the top of the floor joist will be! The floor joists are 45x220, span about 350 cm, and rest on the foundation wall at the other end!

Screw in a 34x95 above and attach joist hangers to it?

Notching and laying on the existing stud doesn't seem possible!? Only 100 mm left in height and 34 mm support feels weak!?

A 34x95 it was... Screwed with 6x80 screws cc15 into the plank wall behind. Then there will be a beam shoe tomorrow with anchor screws in both the new and old beams, maybe it will reach down so that there will be two in the sill too...
And then I think there will be a couple of long screws through the shoe's bolt holes as well so it attaches directly to the plank wall too...
No one wants to object at least? There are still a few hours to change the plan :)
