So, do we take it that you know something about architecture and construcion?
Not bad for a chap who also understands batteries and alternators.
My guess would be that the joists run across the internal walls which are therefore supporting the floors above. So, agreed, a check on the direction of the joists is needed. Even then, I would always get an architect's opinion.
