I want to place the 1x4 at 3 1/2" from the bottom of the joist.
Yeah the face nailing will really suck, the wood is old and too hard. I didn't even try.
What sort of cleat are you talking about? I just need the cheapest plastic joist hangery-type thing to hold them in place. I need about 50 of them so price matters.
