We have been busy killing termites. Seems they felt invited to our home. We had to show them otherwise.
A 4' x 3' section of kitchen floor, termite killer and visit from pest control folks, now we are back in business.
It is good to have family in the construction business. Apparently the band joist is one of the must have things to keep your house standing.
All the corrective construction was done and the sub floor is in place. Good this happened now, the tile work was not done yet and that would have sucked to rip that out.
Just have to sit back, have a cup of coffee and laugh.
If not you'll just go crazy.
Peace

Yeah your probably right...
All the rock crawlers seem to love those axles. Even the RC crawler have a 1/10th scale version.
I was kind of kidding, but that would be a powerful rig.
Would the width of the semi axles make it? I have never paid attention to the actual width.
What about a tandem axle box truck? That might be a little closer.
