Hi all
I have had notches cut out of joists for waste pipe for the shower. The joist spans from one wall in the bathroom, stud wall between bathroom and bedroom and I presume it's one long joist to the end wall in the bedroom.
The joist depth is 175mm and my question is because there's a sleeper wall the joist bears on, do I look at span tables taking into acccount that the sleeper wall is classed as span from the bathroom wall to the sleeper?
Hope I haven't lost you all
