Everyone stop giving him the attention he so desperately craves until he posts pictures of the finished bathroom. There... is a finished bathroom, I'm assuming.

I find the idea of giant separate sinks on opposite sides of the room such that you don't even need to look at your spouse, shielded from contact with each other via a gigantic tub delineating the demilitarized void between you, yet have an enormous mirror to flood your vision with your own visage to be an apt reflection of married life in suburban america

I’m sorry, I can’t get over your claim that “women play an unfair role in the home-buying process.” Like a wife is a glorified family pet who should have no more say in where she lives than the dog does, and not a human being and her husband’s equal life partner.

My sister in law (a molecular biologist) gave him (through me) some ideas about how to test before the renovation, he started the stufyy, and the thread got closed before we saw the results. Iirc she wasn't sure if it would be a problem.

He told us it got fixed, and before he left the last time he told us how much it was going to cost. I'm sure everything is done and up to code because he had to hire someone to finish it. It probably looks nice enough, and I'm sure it's functional. But beat master J, you gotta not take it so hard. You did something dumb that cost you tens of thousands of dollars. You're gonna get poked at for that, and then you kindof went off the rails with poo poo. I mean, you gotta see how you brought a good chunk of that on yourself. But I do know some people would like to see specifically what was done to repair your joists.

Without pictures demonstrating otherwise, I’ll put  on: he quietly slapped some material in there sistered to the face of the joists, closed it up, is pretending nothing ever happened, and will continue to do so right through the sale of the property some day in the future.

Call it semantics if you want, but I'd like to clear something up. Many of you are asking how the "mistake" was "fixed", or some variant. The short version is: there was no mistake to fix. Now I will preface by saying that I was very naive in my understanding of joist physics and the potential dangers I imparted upon my home by cutting them. Although much of the feedback from this forum was not constructive in the least, I won't deny that without the concern of many of you, my project might have had a much less safe ending for me or my future home buyers. So for that, I thank you. That being said, unless my rudimentary understanding of science is completely flawed, if you want to put something in the ground, you have to dig a hole. As far as I know, there's no way around that. If, in the process of digging that hole I happen to break a gas line, well, that's a mistake that needs to be fixed. But alas, no gas lines were broken. My design called for a sunken bathtub and that's what I got. Whether it was me or the contractor, those joists were getting cut regardless, so really I just saved them some time (naively). You can all rest assured that my design was executed appropriately by a licensed contractor, who worked with a structural engineer to develop a solution to fit my goal. The city inspector then came by and signed off on it. The joists are still just as cut as they were a year ago.

That is a lot of words to say you cut the joists because you think a sunken rock-surrounded tub is good and cool. That's all been covered at excruciating length already.bEatmstrJ posted:You can all rest assured that my design was executed appropriately by a licensed contractor, who worked with a structural engineer to develop a solution to fit my goal.
