You might think that Carpenter Jim’s Injury would have halted progress indefinitely, but after a short week of recuperation, he was back at it on our next Support Project - Sistering Joists. What a guy!The joists supporting the main floor of the house were probably undersized for the room span, so the best thing is to double up, or sister, the joists for better stability.
The result is great - now our floors no longer bounce in the middle.
Unfortunately though, the plumbing isn’t holding up to the movement and is now leaking in no fewer than 4 places.
This little project has now spawned Scope Creep into Plumbing.
To further improve our House Stability experience, Carpenter Jim has also 
faced the interior Pony Window Wall with plywood (after first running electrical wiring behind it and insulating).
