Attaching triple 2x6 floor joist to rim joist
Posted: Mon Aug 19, 2019 10:06 am
I have [only one instance of] tripled up 2x6 floor joists coming out to my rim joist that I'll need to attach to a new rim joist section: not sure why there are 3; I think that it was from someone else's repair work.
Can I just end nail from the new sister rim joist section? If so, what size nails?
I'll be looking to cut out the existing bad rim joist section. The floor joists where the new sister rim joist piece goes will be cut down to accommodate this new rim joist piece. Thinking that I'd then end nail those floor joists to the sister piece. Then I'd patch in a new outer rim joist piece, nailing it to the sister joist.
