From what I can tell from your drawing you have TJI silent floor joist. It appears that you’re planning to lay the board that you want to hang from to on a glue joint. I’m not so sure that I would want to do that. TJIs are made with a pair of laminated 2xs, dadoed and the OSB glued between them. Even if you substituted the “skinny board” you have drawn for a 2x, you are still near the edge of the 1/2” OSB for a fastener. If you look a little closer at the OSB you’ll notice some prepunched hole knockouts for the electrician to route his romex. I’d consider knocking out a couple holes and using a pipe to hang from or a 2x that’s closer to the center of the height of the joist. -- Darrell, making more sawdust than I know what to do with |
