Remove floor joist cross-bracing to insulate?
Hello,
I have a 1952 fixer upper in a very cold climate. I'm interested in insulating the floor between the floor joists with R19 bats, but there are cross-braces between the joists from the build that would get in the way. Would knocking these braces out cause sagging, bowing, etc of the floor 50 yrs into the life of the house? Any help would be appreciated.
