Default Why is the bedroom floor sagging?

Probably because there are 12 joists which have broken away from the rim joist......needless to say I was asking myself.........."why am I under here taking pictures.....I think I need to back out as quickly as possible".

Jeff, you drove a long way from Concord to do that inspection (Mt. Pleasant?). Must have made some $$ on that one.

I told her that the floor joist needed a few more nails (laugh).

Actually I was called out as a contractor........ met the lady during Thanksgiving dinner. She asked if I had time to come out and look at the floor on a Saturday....what the heck, it was only 5 minutes away.


There is at least $10,000 - $15,000 worth of repairs (if not more).......most of it being labor. Would be a nice little side job.......
