gary, are you sure about your loadings? they don't seem in line with
canadian construction code. if i stood on one leg on your floor joist i
would exceed it by almost 5 times. i'm certain that your regional building
code would not have a factor of safety of 5 times, its simply too expensive
to build to that level.
