You need multiple tools to do that, and a LOT of quality time on your back in a crawlspace eating sawdust to do it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 months ago A circular saw and a hammer would do it. Just 2 cuts and a thwack per board. If the cuts are too deep a sawzall and longish blade would work too but take longer. If I somehow ended up owning this house I’d probably just screw some 1/8” steel straps across the bottoms of the joists and call it a day. The the bottoms of floor joists are in tension anyway. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Zannsolo@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago Sawzall and a hammer works fine permalink fedilink source parent [–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago (1 child) Surely there is more to this permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 8 points 10 months ago As complete dumbass I can almost assure you that the person who did this did it to the first one and then went in for a penny in for a pound so they kept going.
