I'm planning on removing a beam from by basment.
Currently all it's doing it splitting a 13' 10" span in half for the
2x8 floor joists 16" o.c. above. What I'd like to do is sister on 2 x 10's to each joist to span the distance. This meets spec for L/480 (code is 360) but I'm wondering if the floor will feel bouncy.Any ideas? It's way overbuilt now and feels really solid. I'm not sure what L/480 feels like... any opinions?
