Why bother with that last one?

Because otherwise you will find out which will collapse
first, the floors or your spouse.


I had the advantage of building my own house. I put in 2x10 joists 12
inches on center (not the usual 16"), supported by steel beams, and 2x6
carrying walls. Of course, my spouse has been talking about limits
recently.

Oh! The advantages of building one's own home! I am glad I don't
have to worry about a spouse's limits though.
