New garage time!

^^^^ yes, it might be worth taking the rim joist off and then trim down the joists. Take a grinder and round off the corners on the joist so they fit nice and snug against the rim joist. What is the siding detail going to be ? Maybe you can design it so the siding will hide that extension ?

Unfortunately I think it's the point of no return for me I think, I just wanted to bring it up. Even if I trimmed it and brought the joist flush with the rim track, the holes are already drilled and the distance gained wouldn't be more than the width of the hole.

Is it only overhanging on one side, or on both? I think I would add a layer of insulation or sheathing as the most efficient solution.

It's hanging over on both sides, I split the difference. Plywood going on the outside then siding. In the grand scheme of things I don't think it'll be noticeable in the finished product, I just wanted to make a note of it for anyone that might consider this type of flooring. I will be adjusting for the 3rd floor as well.

Most of us here have built many things and doing so have had this happen to us ! The genius part is we scratched our heads and made a design change to which no one else knew about it but us !!!

On the bright side, the joists are all screwed in and not nailed. So... all you have to do is remove all the screws and joists so they can be trimmed 1/2" or so and then put back together.

And if you trim each end no need to take down. Double the fun.

And selfishly didn’t even share the colorful dialog that accompanied. Most of the time anyway. May have been a time or two the wife overheard.

I'm thinking you can come up with a siding plan to either hide it or make it look like a planned architectural detail. Just flash it somehow if needed, so it doesn't create a water problem.

I was thinking along these lines too. A horizontal detail line to help break up the expanse of the side wall. "I meant to do that..."
