[–] atx_aquarian@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago (2 children) This is cute, but also in case anyone needs to learn something today: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstitial_space permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] AshLassay@lemmy.world 24 points 6 months ago (2 children) That wiki says it’s common in hospitals and labs. Interstitial space is not the same as a floor cavity. Also The heights of these spaces are generally 6 to 8 feet (1.8 to 2.4 m) and allow easy access for repair or alteration So yeah not common in a residential building. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] bluesheep@sh.itjust.works 19 points 6 months ago (1 child) 1.8m!?

I was looking for "truss space" or something related. "Floor cavity" or I guess "joist cavity" looks like what I was looking for (for the residential side). permalink fedilink source parent [–] Mubelotix@jlai.lu 2 points 6 months ago (1 child) Tell me you are american without telling me you are american permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Mesophar@pawb.social 9 points 6 months ago (1 child) This bit has nothing to do with America, we don't have that kind of space between floors in residential buildings, either. You have plenty of real things to shit on us for, but this isn't one of them. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Mubelotix@jlai.lu 2 points 5 months ago It's just that your buildings arn't old.
