Warning: That old house in Bridgeport had a floor joist sistering job that took three days instead of one afternoon.

The original framing was so twisted and notched from past plumbing that every new board needed custom scribing. Anyone else run into a simple fix that blew up into a major headache?

Oh man, that's the worst! We tried to replace a bathroom fan and found a whole section of rotten roof sheathing. Suddenly we're buying tarps and calling a roofer.
