    Toilet venting

    A HOLE in the cnter of the beam still maintains the strength of the beam depending on the size and lateral location of the hole. a notch, on top or the bottom reduces the load bearing of that beam. let say you notch a 2x12 with a 2'' notch on the bottom. The beam is now a 2x10 load bearing...
