drat, when I used to run electrical, I was only allowed to drill the middle 1/3 of these engineered beams....you've removed all the compressive strength of the joists in an area of heavy loading!

I'm glad you're consulting an engineer, and I'm interested to see their plans.

dpack_1 posted:I think it's just how loving obscure them things are compared to UK standard connector strips, which are then wrapped in insulated tape. In my experience, attempting to seal up a connection with tape or whatever in a damp air environment is only going to accelerate the corrosion. Let it breathe and dry out.

My guess is that he was gonna sit the tub inside a shower pan, and have a homebrew infinity edge tub.

bEatmstrJ posted:I have contacted over 10 different contractors and as of yet not a single one has come over. And to that note, not a single one has called me an idiot or said it couldn't be fixed when I told them I cut my beams. So between my job and finding a contractor, things are going to be slow for a while.

HycoCam posted:Those permits and the required inspections can be seen as a drawback--but as a huge TOH fan--I've learned inspectors are a homeowner's best friend. You may notice that they do not always show footage of the inspection, I always imagine the reason is that Tommy let loose a string of colorful expletives at some bad news.

Adiabatic posted:Compression loads are loads due to pushing against something. Tension is pulling. When you put a load on some object you put stress on that object. I'd like to add, when thinking about how That's the point of I-beams whether steel or engineered wood, the upper and lower flanges are holding the forces involved. Maximum strength with minimal material. e: for clarity you pedants. :p angryrobots fucked around with this message at 22:05 on Apr 7, 2017 |

xwing posted:Not always true... over a load bearing wall in the middle of a house a beam would be in in tension at the top. Your statement is true for the simplest uniform loading supported at two ends. A cantilever is another case it wouldn't have the loading you describe. That's why beams are usually symmetrical in the y-axis because it works the same in both directions. I was not attempting to describe all loading situations, and even said as much. Just further explaining the situation going on here (and I always thought trying to picture beam internal forces was interesting).

You have a good attitude moving forward. It would drive me absolutely bonkers, knowing that simply asking an internet forum about my plan ahead of time, could have saved me something like $20k. I couldn't handle that.

bEatmstrJ posted:Im fairly certain uncompromised floor joists could not handle the awesomeness of a tub full of mercury. Mercury is about 13.5 times heavier than water, probably less overall weight than filled tub + average goon weight. Well within your factor of safety, go for it.

Well most drunk-shits are mostly liquid, while vomit generally has chunks of undigested food which is difficult to get down the sink drain. So I guess which method of vomitorium setup works depends on your level of alcoholism.
