Hi all
Best described by pics below (not at all to scale), am installing a U shaped shower in my bathroom, unfortunately, the stone resin shower tray has the waste over the top of one of the joists.
I could raise the shower but would prefer not to.
As I already have the ceiling taken down in the room below, hence have access to the joists, is it possible to shorten a joist by about 6 inches and have it fixed via joist hangers into the adjoining two joists, as per my second pic.
If it helps. 1930s house with 6x2" joists
Many thanks.
