Tim- I think you are hearing me wrong. The joist was notched 2 inches away
from the wall. So there was a space 2 inches long for us to bolt the new
sister to on one end. I didn't have a handyman look at it, I had a builder
look at it.

Gotcha. It's probably fine, I just get a little concerned when the
structure of a building gets hacked away! Hopefully the ordeal is now over
for you!
