    Some argued that this was OK, depends on code so maybe it's right somewhere? :o

    I'm pretty sure the joist inserted into the beam (assuming they are secured somehow??) isn't going anywhere

    The floating girder/header on the other hand is... Concerning

    I'd be fine if the joists were strapped to the I-beams, but those could slip with settling, or in quake prone areas.

    If done properly, there will be blocking/noggins secured between each joist that locks everything in place (in the I-beams, and along the joists span).

    If you want to seen this being done, the YT channel "Escape to Rural France" has shown this on a pretty large scale as he rebuilt the floors in his chateau.

    https://www.youtube.com/@escapetoruralfrance

    I'm not saying the above picture makes me feel good, the work looks fairly sloppy and some very, very questionable framing choices. But in general, there is nothing wrong with notching joist directly into an I-beam, when done properly.

    My ex was breast feeding at the end of my racing career and was producing way more than consumption and asked me what to do......I'm scratching my head, gee honey I don't know....wait, give it to me....she said why? I said, you'll see.

    I was at 195, I put on 5lbs of solid muscle from my workouts......yeah baby, serve it up
