I’ve got a unique situation. I’m trying to run plumbing from a new bathroom over my garage to tie into my basement. In order to meet fall, I need to go through the perpendicular rim joist which carries the load from the gable end of the house. Is there a way to cut a 4 inch section out of the rim joist so that I can run this plumbing? The rim joist is a 2 x 10.
