Hello all,
This is my first post here. The situation is I have a sunken living room floor. after gutting the basement, I found that the joists were notched over the sill plate and only a 2x4 glued/nailed to the foundation wall was supporting the back end of the floor. Has anyone ever seen it done this way?? I was thinking about adding a main beam accross the end wall (about 16ft) with jackposts and blocking between the joists. see pic below to understand what i mean. need opinions, thanks.
