So how much time have you spent on this one so far (not counting the planning phase)? And how is it progressing compared to your expectations? I'm always curious about plans vs reality stuff.

Bowls are going on top I assume? I can't really imagine a scenario where you don't hate tiling around that.

Obviously i'm a bit vested into this project to stop now, but I do encourage any advice people may have on how to proceed. Good attitude. Bare in mind that I am no engineer and hopefully one of those will show up, however - it really isn't "code compliance" that you should be worried about here. Those beams are using a couple of individually weak members, which when locked together form an individually strong whole. Cutting the top off didn't weaken them by 25% or whatever vertical distance you went through. Instead you kind of made then non functional. And did this to a bunch in a row. Why don't you post your plan and get some feedback here? And if you don't get advice here please go seek it out. Again, not an engineer, but I imagine any repair will involve snugly restoring the missing piece, maybe a 2x6 or similar ripped down to size and routed to recieve the web? Then sistering and blocking at all of the cuts. Also on rereading, you were planning to lower the tub into the floor? I don't think that will be an option here...

In defense of doing the remodel, he had loving tile counter tops. The most correct course of action would be to replace them, and then find and shoot whoever put those in.
