However, after removing the fixture for one I discovered it was mounted directly under a joist. There isn't enough room to fit the LED mount within the shallow cavity created by the ceiling sheetrock. I always follow Tom Silva's (of This Old House) mantra. If you remove any support, add back support. I would sister a 1x4 or 2x4 alongside the joist where you notch out because I'm slightly definitely paranoid about support. We're having an issue with some floor joists that we're notched so a plumbing pipe would go under, not through, them. I didn't know my husband didn't add support back until I noticed the floor was bowing some. |
