Hi all,
Thanks for taking the time to read this. I started a bathroom remodel. I took out the old shower pan and walls. I saw that the water pipes were coming through the sub floor and in front of the framing. I needed to repair the sub floor by the drain anyway so cut out sub floor to the pipes to see why the builder had done it this way. So by removing the sub floor, I can see an engineered I beam joist right behind the water pipes. Probably poor planning and somebody screwed up. Anyway my question is what needs to be done in order for me to get the water pipes inside the wall framing? I am going to tile the floor using Kerdi tray. Can I notch the top edge portion of beam which sticks out about 1"? The shower is right next to outside wall portion of joist. Any other ideas to consider?
