| Sep 9, 2019 at 1:51 | comment | added | isherwood | @Technophile, you seem to have misunderstood my question. I'm asking Rick to clarify and substantiate his statement for the sake of a better answer. I don't need a lesson in construction, having been involved since childhood and as a professional for many years. Also, neither of you linked to any supporting documentation, which is how things are commonly done on the internet. "Have a look at a website" doesn't get us very far into a conversation. | |

Is the issue with the current header that it is only 2x8 with 2 layers of 1/2" plywood? Any suggestion on what can be done to rectify? For the bolts should the existing bolts be moved to a different location or should the existing joists be sistered? | |

| Sep 8, 2019 at 17:13 | comment | added | Technophile | @isherwood please have a look at the Simpson Stong-Tie website. Framing connectors have specific approved applications, based on mechanical engineering analyses and testing. Framing construction is regulated via building codes, permits and inspections because people can die (or at least sue) when houses fall down. Construction can look simple, and there are many who will happily wade in with a hammer, saw and little skill, knowledge or understanding. | |
