@amperage1963@poa.st a plumber's idea of structural engineering when you pass something through a joist, it needs to go through the middle. putting a (reasonably sized) hole in the middle of a joist barely reduces its strength at all, whereas notching the top or bottom makes it dramatically weaker in this case I would estimate the notched joists are about 40% as strong as they were before
