While doing all the wiring I've done the past few days, I discovered a broken, cracked joist. The wood inside the crack looks new so it probably happened last New Years! At our New Years Eve party last year, we had quite a few people jumping and dancing right over that joist.
To fix it I first filled the crack with a flooring adhesive. Then I took a 2 x 6 smeared with the same adhesive and straddled the crack with the 2 x 6. I put the same board on the other side of the joist. I would have like to put a 2 x 6 the length of that board all the way from the foundation to the main support beam. There was too much venting in the way to do that.
