Short story is a previous mentally challenged owner decided for some reason to move the garage door track up and attach it to the sill on the outer wall rather than the block provided. In doing so , they notched three 2x10 floor joists about 1 inch to 2 inches deep in the center of three joists. These joists are
2x10's and 16 OC, and span 12 feet. Above the garage is a bedroom. I am curious as to whether there is an easy repair to reinforce these 3 joists, perhaps by gluing/nailing some pywood to the center about 1-2 feet on either side of the nothces. There is no sagging or cracking and one home inspector said its not honestly a worry. But I'd prefer to shore it up if possible before closing the break in the firewall from these morons.. Any advice on what might be sufficient is appreciated.- posted
