Lesson # 31 ... The boom is not a chair. You will go "sailing" in more ways than one.

Thank you for reposting this one. I missed the lesson comment last time.
 
A couple of things about the photo... The bearing wall has a massive header and the wall looks to be 2X6 construction suggesting it is designed to carry a great load. The joist that were cut shows two that are doubled up which also suggests a heavy load. The joist spacings were decreased across the area of the plumbing also suggests a heavy load. The odd part of the picture is that one of the doubled up joists is only a single joist on the left side of the drains.
The one thing that is obvious, the area was constructed to carry a lot of weight and now it can't.
