Denray Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Mid way through this foundation there's this additional beam/post support perpendicular to the other beams. I wonder why it's there? Click to Enlarge 48.12 KB Click to Enlarge 28.2 KB Click to Enlarge 29.06 KB Click to Enlarge 51.31 KB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjr6550 Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 I can't tell from the photos how this beam relates to the other beams. It looks like an afterthought. Maybe it was installed to stiffen the floor to prevent vibration. A little better description or other photos may help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Baird Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 ...Obviously added after-the-fact. The floor may have been sagging or bouncing and these arrangements stiffen it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
