floor joists for an upstairs bathroom (and closet)-















when i got the place it had one bathroom, on the main floor off the kitchen.  this was not good.  since the master bedroom (which is going to be my bedroom) is upstairs i figured it would be good idea, not only for ease of night time bathroom use, but also for resale value, i figured i should add a bathroom and closet upstairs.  i was able to mount a ledger strip along the front exterior wall and nail joist hangers evenly spaced (at 16" o.c.) along the ledger strip as well as the LVL to hold the 2x10's.  truly this made the job much easier as the current wall studs are anything but even... i suppose that's what you pay for with a balloon framed, 100+ year old house built by drunk people...
