No blocking between floor joists and they might need to overlap the girder by so many inches

Missing strap tie or blocking where joist ends butt together

[Jeffrey R. Pope]

What's right? That would be a better quiz.

I'm afraid to answer. I'd hate to see that photo show up in my email. So let me put it into a question;

What is the minimum bearing requirement for a floor joist?

[KEVIN WOOD]

You mean you want to get a picture of Wayne in a speedo! You are sick sick sick David. 3 inches over each end of the beam is norm.

1-1/2". The overlap can be too much and cause a hump in the sub floor above but as long as the joist bears on the beam by 1-1/2", should be OK - No?

Blocking, strapping or cross bridging would be a good idea at some point along the span but not required at the intersection of the two joist ends.

I notice one of the sub-floor panel nails has missed the joist so do I get a speedo?
