Default Re: Cut floor joist ok with engineer

[quote=jbraun;691545]The engineer is working for the home builder, so he is going to agree with the builder. Sad but true.

Engineers DO NOT just agree with builders because they are working for them. I have never met an Engineer that would put his license on the line without valid reason. In other words, there are not many rubber stamp engineers, the Professional Engineering designation requires way too much education to risk.
