[QUOTE="ARCH81, post: 989365, member: 61169"] Hi, and thanks for any advice. After pulling over 900 lbs of dead weight in the center of my joists I had no deflection for tiling a bathroom floor ( roughly 6.5' x 6.5'). I measured from the floor below to see if there was any measurable deflection/sag, but there was not even a 1/16 of an inch. Am I good to tile? Background: I have a renovated addition bathroom in a dormer. It's on double 2x6"s with a 12' span. The John Bridge Calculator says I'd have about an L / 287, BUT it's in a dormer. So the gable wall is about at the middle of the 12' span. It is connected to the bottom plate of course which is connected to the doubled joists. The wall is then connected to the header that spans the gap of cut rafters and connects to both sides of the double rafters. So I believe the dormer structure is not letting the joists sag as it's being held by the bottom plate to the wall 2x4"s through the header and on the side rafters. I could only measure from the ceiling of the room under it but there was no measurable sag. It would be too difficult to measure from the top of a 2x6" from one end to the other as it slops too tight on the outer wall due to the rafter pitch. Most of the weight I put right in the center of the 12' span. I think I am ok to tile given the weight test. Thoughts? Am I missing something? Thanks again. [/QUOTE]
