    Off the subject but...I see clothes hangers too, might wanna suggest the client try not to hang clothes in there next to a gas fuel burning appliance.

    I like Chris' "flitch plate" idea. You could gusset them with heavy plywood glued and nailed from the bearing to 4' to 6' behind the notches. Similar to the flitch plates but you don't have to find them or have them made. Engineered I joists are repaired like this all the time. If done correctly, relocating the gas pipe may not be necessary. (edited to add comment)

    It's more for draft stop than a fire block.

    Ask the builder why he is balking at making his house SAFER! He'd add GFCI's where required if they were missing right?

    Jim Morrison, A couple of things... Thank you very much for the kind words describing our fair Capital City. Look out though...saying things like "little Nashville" could stir up a hornets nest. I've heard it this way: "I'd rather be a fence post in Texas than the King of Tennessee". I'm new to this board as a member, but have been looking in for just over a month now. I really enjoy it and look forward to contributing and learning. Thanks for the opportunity! bjp
