I've demoed the kitchen and entry way in prep for new tile floor, during the process I've discoved the floor is uneven, particularly in this area...
Well, my father and I jacked the kitchen floor joists where they meet the main beam (centerline of the house), and re-hung them 1/2" higher. The kitchen floor is now level. In identifying the real problem, and fixing it, I have now determined I want to fix the remaining area where the joists have fallen 1/2". Here's a pic to help explain the issue...
So the remaining 25" section where the joists have "fallen" has two separate walls above it. They run down the centerline of the house, but run next to the main beam not over it. To jack that will obviously require a different method than the hi-lift jack and 2x4's we used for floor joists in the kitchen (no wall and very little weights, could push them up with a 2x4 withouts jack).
Anyone have any suggestions about this process?
