I noticed one of my floor joists has a crack in, and it is canting outward. It gradually, over about 4-5ft, "twists" back upright and then appears normal. I also noticed the adjacent joint is bending, but does not appear to be actually cracked (yet). Any suggestions for how to proceed here? Some quick googling about sistering joints, etc. shows me this is likely well outside my skill level to do myself. How much is this going to set me back to have a pro address it? The joist:   The adjacent joist:

PainterofCrap posted:Not seeing a crack. Ok, thanks - relieved that it's structurally fine, phew! But you're right, the floor above squeaks like crazy. Anything I can do about that, it drives me nuts!

I'm looking at installing a buried pipe from my downspout to a pop-up emitter down in my lawn (currently the downspout drains above ground, onto a concrete walkway which makes for a slippery situation in the winter - I'm replacing this walkway anyway, and want to bury the pipe at the same time). Reading about which type of pipe to use, it seems there are two options: either a corrugated pipe or a PVC pipe. Any recommendations or pros/cons of those? I'm in the north, so we do get frost here in case that freeze/thaw cycle would impact this.
