Hello
I was redoing my kitchen the right way by getting plumbing&electrical permits. In the process i had to remove the builder installed (20yrs old town home) fire-place and it exposed the fireplace exhaust that was installed by cutting a floor joist.
Please see the document with pictures and notes - AND a 2 min video
Questions: -
- Can a header be installed only on one side of the cut joist ?
(see the diagram"B" in the document link)
- Less important question - will this impact my home insurance till it is fixed ?
