Pulling the joists

First off, I'm finally caught up on this, so what happened in this post actually happened today.

Pulling the joists out actually went pretty well, I just cut them in the large notches and at the other and an pulled the 3 chunks out for each.  Here it is with the main sections of a few done

That board I fell off of yesterday is incredibly useful when I don't fall off of it

And they're all out now

Because of the fact these are 2x8s, and they really should be larger than that, I decided to put them on an 11" center instead of 16".  The ones that were originally there were also 2x8's but their actual dimensions were 1.75x8, unlike the 1.5x7.25 we have today. 

Side note:  Hammering is much, much harder than it first seems, especially with larger nails.  If you haven't tried hammering a 16 penny coated sinker before, you should, it's an eye opening experience.

So here it is with the joist hangers installed, there's a larger space for the rightmost one because I'll be doing the glue/screw thing on the side of the joist that is still there.

I also decided to put in the one double joist today.  There is one double one because I'll be framing around the toilet drain properly, instead of notching out 6 out of the 8" and then trying to reinforce it
