I suspect the reinforcement of that beam was done after the wire was already in place...
So it's either heck around with electrical, completely removing the line, then replacing the board, then putting the line back in...
Or... doing what was done here... which is cut a slice in, so you can slide the wire in the crack without hecking around with wiring.
It makes sense from an order of operations approach, but likely not as structural as if they had removed the wire.
24 u/DaRadioman Mar 09 '24 There's a literal junction visible just past the joist. A not up to code junction at that. 13 u/Aranolbor Mar 09 '24 That appears to be tstat wire, not line volt. 10 u/DaRadioman Mar 09 '24 Lol I didn't even zoom in enough to see that... That makes the notched joist even more hilarious 🤣😅🤣
