I need to rip out a bunch more ceiling to find out what else might be screwed up in there! I think there are a few good solutions, none of which are simple. I am hoping to undo all of the drains and divert them through the unfinished part of the basement so this won’t even be an issue. We’ll see…

Oh, dude… that is so unbelievably bad… that looks like the sort of job a guy I worked with last summer would have done.

I wonder… is it an option to go UP and over the joist with the drain pipe? I don’t know what you have above, but if you could go up and box it in, perhaps you could scab a board to the lower part of the 2×10 (the most important part – doh!) after jacking?

I suppose you could go down under the joist too, but then you’d have to drywall around the pipe or put in a false ceiling…

Sheesh, dude, I feel the pain.

It’s amazing the damage that one human termite can do. Sometimes when they work in pairs, one will lean over and holler, “Ya derned fool! Yer gonna get us kilt.”

Yikes! You been struck by a smooth criminal! I am just hoping our builder didn’t screw up our floor. I creaks really bad all the way down one beam. I’ll get it fixed if we ever decide to redo the carpet or put in hardwood Fortunately no idiot remodeling to worry about.

I am sure you will have it all fixed up in no time.

I think all remodeling done in the 1980s was criminal – or at least all the redecorating. UGH!
