Re: Comments?
That wouldn't be too hard to fix, depending.
If that joist runs parallel to the toilet bolts, opt for either a 10" or 12" rough-in, whichever clears it better.
If it runs perpindicular, slide the toilet to the left or right, assuming there's enough clearance on either side for that.
If you can't move the toilet enough, cut out the current set-up, replace it with an offset (two 45's or 22's) to get the line below the level of the joist, then put two new joists, one on either side, to make up for the compromised joist.
I recently re-did a house where the original heating and air guys actually cut the main beam of the house completely in half to run their duct through it. No, there was no reason they couldn't have gone under. No, they didn't support either end any. Yes, the floor was sagging.
Another house I'm currently working on, there's a patio, underneath a deck, under the third floor hanging over the deck. Each is held up by temporary pillars, bundles of lumber every so many feet. Problem is, the only lumber actually touching the ground is a single 2x4 on each pillar. The third-floor overhang is actually off 2" on a 2' level. Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssscaaaaaaaaaary.
The front entryway overhang is also sagging. Here's a picture of that; those 2x4's were straight when I started.
PS: Sorry for the threadjack.
