How to build a platform over a sharply sloped floor?
How much slope and how long of a run? For short distance, up to 12 feet, and 12 inches of drop, you cut a 2x12 at the right slope and use them for the floor joist. For longer runs or greater slope, Use 2x6 level and use 2x4 legs under them.
How do you cut a 135 degree angle?
Cut a 45 degree angle "going the other way".
Does a bisector cut an angle in half?
To bisect an angle is to divide the angle in half.
What angle would you cut to get a 6 sided shape?
cut the angle of a decagon in half the cut angle for equal sides is 30 degrees on each end take 180 degrees divide bt # of sides and this will give you the cut angle for any euqal sided shape

Are there pictures of a fire cut?
A fire cut is also called a fireman's cut. It is a diagonal cut that is made at the top of a joist used with a brick or stone wall. The fire cut acts as a safety feature to cut the risk of the wall falling if there is a fire. Pictures of fire cuts would be found in blue prints and engineering designs for buildings.
How do you repair deck joists on a cantilever deck?
Not knowing if the joist are in need of repair from rot (deterioration) or broken/damaged then replace ment of joist may be necessary. First get a replacement joist of the same or better species and treatment content and dimensions as the existing joist. Then cut the joist to the same length. You may have to cut a small angle on the bottom end of the joist to aid in working it over and between the girts and decking boards. Work the joist within a few inches of the joist to be replaced. Use a short 4x4 to drive the joist or a wood block to strike with a hammer. Take a couple of scrap 2x's and temporarily fasten to the girts and new joist to prevent movement. Then you may try a couple methods to remove the old joist. If the decking is fastened with screws then simply backout the screws. If it is nailed, then a 10 lbs. hammer can often remove most anything you need and is a great stress reliever but I recomend you use a reciprocating saw to cut the fasteners between the joist and decking. Usually the vibration of the saw and nails being cut will loosen the deck side of the fasteners and allow you to go top side and pull the old nail halves out. Once the old joist and fasteners are out you can carefully work the new joist in place. I recommend fastening the old decking to the new joist with properly coated screws or a hotdipped galvanized rink shank nail. Repeat joist replacement as necessary on other joist.
How can I properly notch floor joists to ensure structural integrity and safety in my construction project?
To properly notch floor joists for structural integrity and safety in your construction project, follow these steps: Use a framing square to mark the notch location on the joist. Cut the notch to the appropriate depth, typically no more than one-third of the joist's depth. Ensure the notch does not weaken the joist's load-bearing capacity. Avoid notching near the ends of the joist or in the middle third of the span. Consult building codes and a structural engineer if needed for specific requirements.
How do you fix a cut basement joist?
To fix a cut basement joist, first assess the damage and determine the load it carries. You can reinforce the joist by installing a sister joist—an additional piece of lumber attached alongside the damaged section—using construction adhesive and screws or nails for stability. Ensure the sister joist extends at least 2-3 feet beyond the cut area on both sides for adequate support. If the damage is severe, consult a structural engineer for guidance.

How do you repair a sagging ceiling joist?
There are several ways, but probably the easiest way would be to temporarily buck under the afflicted ceiling joist with a 2x6 temporarily, until the joist is in line with the others. Then go into the attic and cut and attach a 2x6 to the joist and vertically to the roof ridge. Remove the buck. The joist should stay in place.
How deep can you cut into a tji joist?
You can typically cut into a TJI (Truss Joist I-beam) joist up to one-third of its depth without compromising its structural integrity. For example, if you have a 10-inch deep TJI joist, you should avoid cutting more than about 3 inches deep. Always refer to the manufacturer's guidelines and consult a structural engineer before making any modifications, as specific joist models may have different requirements.
How do you install a drain in a plywood floor that will be going through a shower pan?
cut the opening on a 45 degree angle and caulk in drain
Why is the joist braced after the notch is cut?
The joist is braced after the notch is cut to maintain structural integrity and prevent sagging or failure. Bracing helps distribute loads evenly and ensures the joist can support its intended weight. Additionally, it minimizes the risk of movement or shifting during construction, which can compromise the overall stability of the framework. Proper bracing is essential for safety and durability in building structures.

What is a crown cut when you cut wood?
When you say "crown cut" I think you are referring to a compound angle cut. A compound angle is 2 angles cut at the same time. In crown for instance you put the trim in the saw at a 45 degree angle, and tilt your saw blade at a 45 degree angle as well.
