Made a hole in the joist for plumbing to the bathroom, a bit cramped and tricky. But in hindsight, I regret both the size and placement of the hole could have done it much smarter/better, and possibly a little smaller, but it ended up like this.
That's how it looks. The problem is that there is already a hole next to it, and the hole could have been higher up, with a glued beam above, but it would have been possible to saw into that too with some guidance...
Anyway, two holes about 70mm close by, 4cm down to the bottom edge of the floor joist which is 45x220.
Does this need to be fixed by screwing and gluing something substantial there? With some contour sawing and tricks, I should be able to put a reinforcement there. Also, there's a glued 28x70 above as support for the flooring chipboard.
Any tips on a solution or if it doesn't matter? I suspect the carpenters would have cut similarly and then just built over it, but oh well. Otherwise, I usually am relatively careful with holes, but this one felt really off after realizing how poorly I placed the hole...
Or should I fix a new core sample with the same hole saw and generously glue the hole again and then put a thick plywood over it and make a new hole higher up?
