Face mounted floor joists
Face mounted floor joists
(OP)
Older home with face-mounted joists that are pulling away from the main beam (ledger boards are rotating outwards) - my theory is that is from wood shrinkage and other ageing affects (ledger was also not supported at the bottom by the columns - causing some downward movement).
At any rate, I hope to get some ideas on a recommended repair. Any thoughts?

RE: Face mounted floor joists
Is the system failing? What are you trying to accomplish? Chances are it has looked like this for some time now.

I agree that this has been in existence for some time. However, the client is also in the process of replacing a section of this beam (other end) due to termite damage. Saw these connections in the review and hope to come up with way of bracing. The home will likely be put up for sale in the near future - an item that could be red-flagged in a home inspection.
