So I have the subfloor,tile and concrete board up. No small task as there must have been a million staples through the rotted osb...glue,cement and tack nails holding the cement board that the tiles were on.
Air chisel and lots of time to get this stuff up....after the sledge hammer and big power tools did the big stuff
pretty much all the 2x6 floor joist in the bathroom (10 feet) were rotted near the rim joist, which was also rotted. They were solid, but discolored, where they sit on top of the metal beam so I figured I would cut the just after the beam and sister them to reach the new rim joist.
Problem...... the new 2x6 is the same height as the old, but when they are placed side by side and the rear part in the bathroom matched up.......the other end of the new 2x6 sits a little higher than the new rim joist. I'm puzzled. the new rim joists sits on the steel beam arms so I don't see how it could have went down?
