Quoted: There was a several page thread last year where this exact thing happened to a member and it was engineered joist. Plus more problems. I think it got moved to Team maybe.

It's odd that you don't have BCI's, dimensional lumber floor joists are rare nowadays.
Also, framer should have located toilets and adjusted layout accordingly. Your situation unfortunately isn't uncommon. |

Quoted: That OSB joist shit? Hard pass there. I was rather surprised to see lumber joists though. Fortunately not my house. I was just looking at what they had.

Friend is a recently retired contractor who was working with someone who had a whole subdivision of that type of construction, back when it was fairly new, where non of the houses were blocked properly and were crushing the joists. He said he spent years there fixing houses. |

Quoted: Not a hell of a lot to be honest IMO. Best place to get an idea is redfin. I'm roughly an hour north of Seattle and our housing prices are retarded, compounded by firestorm price wars. Last house I made an offer on listed at 345, I offered 376 and didnt get it, Was close, but someone had a better offer. 31k OVER list and I didnt get it....

And did well for just over 300 but we had to put some money into the house to fix some stuff. But I've got almost 2800 sq ft and 2.8 acres. Now, try to get that anywhere inside of Travis county (Austin) hold the fuck on. |

That is some custom terrible work. Did you hire the guys standing around at the local home depot?

They must know the framer and he must miss toilet flanges often.

That ^ is how you fix stupid. |

If the framers were worth a damn then they wouldn't have put that joist under the toilet.

Particle board subfloor.....LOL
Might as well go cheap on everything else. Edit: Excuse me....."engineered wood" |

OP, you’d be surprised what is under the walls and ceilings of a bunch of houses.

Who runs abs in new construction?

ETA..Iwould put my money on not going to fix. They would have sistered the joists before running the lines. Now they have to notch for everything. |

That’s why the future homeowner should always have an independent inspector do a “pre-drywall inspection”. Now if it’s a spec being built and then sold to someone later, shit will always slip by.
