Just one question, can she have the end of the joice headered off on both sides of the cut. Will that make it back to code. Put a cross joice butted to the end and attach to the two joices beside the cut one.

thanks

John.
I agree with Mark Nahrgang in the previous post but....... since we do not live in Saskatchewan I STRONGLY urge you to contact YOUR local {Town} Code Official!

He or She, are the ONLY ones who can properly answer this question for you.
{Who knows..... They might give you a "Free Pass" on this item. Stranger things have happened!}


PS:
If your niece had taken the time to have this house inspected she would not be having this problem...... The moral of the story is..... she should have the house that she is now buying inspected by a Certified NACHI Inspector.

PPS:
Let us know what your local Code Official says!
