Hello, I am working on a renovation/construction of a "smaller" house intended for hobby use. This summer, I moved the first part of the house, where the "footprint" is approximately 3.50m x 3.60m. An equally large section will follow from the other end of the house.
The plan was to extend these with a newly built middle section. I received a great tip to make the middle section a bit larger to break up the length of the house (a total of about 14m), which would likely make the house (much) more appealing.
I have already made 2 pairs of pillars with an outer measurement of 3.7m, where the beams will be placed.
With a wider new middle section, I should, of course, place the pillars further out, but I wish to retain the "pillar outer edge" measurement I already have of 3.7m. I am attaching a picture of my own "drawing." The question is how far the overhang can be before the floor joists become "unhappy"? See the lower drawing in the picture. I can also say that the overhang from the outer edge of the beam will not exceed 400mm.
The house will be built with somewhat standard construction: 6-inch walls +2 inches inside/outside. The roof trusses will likely be 200+ as the insulation needs to be sufficient, and there will be a sloped roof even though the height of the interior walls is around 230cm. So, the weight of the roof and walls will rest on this "overhang," where the weight is probably somewhat "normal" or slightly lower.
Best regards, Hans O
