What are you calling a Rim Joist?
A Rim Joist is the structural member which ties all joist together giving same lateral stability. The close up of your pictures makes it look like interior blocking not a rim joist......... you have any pictures which give a better perspective of what you are trying to convey?

Gee, me too
I thought that might be blocking too! Especially since I could see the nails and the big space behind the structural stem wall.

Dang, that is a lot of room for that little pipe.

[Jeffery L. Haynes]

It's a lot of room because even the plumber knew that cutting out a block wasn't going to affect the floor structure...............lol............excuse me for laughing..............but at the same time, most plumbers are ex-carpenters who were fired from Hatchet Construction R Us.........lol.
