All right guys I need some help. I was in this 1920's 2story yesterday. The owner had tried to fix the structural problems to sell it. You can see in the photos that the help she got didn't help. My question is this is there a minimum that a joist can be cut before being placed on a ledger strip. Even with a joist hanger? The photos can explain it better than I.
Thanks
Tony
