Chimney removal and joist need replacing/sistering

I think that's OK. A joist has very little stress towards the mid height. It also reduces towards the ends.

Hi all, hope everyone’s doing good! 👋

 

Just thought I’d give you all a quick update — I’ve doubled up the trimmer section by the stairs for extra reinforcement, and I’m planning to add a side joist hanger for extra support, highlight in green (fingers crossed I’ve done it right 😅).

 

The red section in the pic will be triple-joisted (7x9 inch) — one end going into the wall and the other sitting on a joist hanger. Hopefully I’m on the right track here too 😳😂👍🏻

 

Stay safe everyone, and stay blessed! 🦸🏻‍♂️
