Q We want to do a barrier-free shower as part of a bathroom remodel at our Project House, so we need to lower the floor framing in that room to provide the depth necessary for the tile installer to establish a sloped mud job leading to the drain. Span tables indicate that we can build the floor safely with 2x6 joists instead of the 2x8s that are in place right now. Is it OK to trim the top edge off the 2x8s as long as we don't go below the height of a 2x6?
