Tore down my ceiling - should I fix up these floor joists while it’s open?
The first two photos are a pretty long horizontal crack in a 2x12 floor joist over a 17 foot span. The second two photos show how this joist and a handful of others are hung off a header. I can’t clearly see deflection or bounciness in the floor above, but its carpeted. While the ceiling is open, I figured i might as well leave everything in the best state I can. I was considering sistering the cracked joist with the longest 2x12 i can get ahold of from lowes and trimming the 2x4 the notch sits on to fit some simpson joist hangers.
