90 is even further offset from any of the existing interior floor joists 66 in this instance a bridge member 120 is first attached between adjacent interior floor joists 66 a support member 114 is then attached between the bridge member 120 and the rim joist 62 b the long leg of the l shaped strap member 100 is then nailed to the support member 114 with a plurality of nails 102 this allows the exterior cantilevered beam 90 to be mounted to the l shaped strap member 100 with an upper bolt 74 even though the exterior cantilevered beam 90 is located between two interior floor joists 66 a second device and method for attaching an exterior cantilevered beam to a building is done with the support member shown in fig5 a and 5b as shown in these figures the support member 130 includes a flat base 138 in the embodiment shown in fig5 a and 5b the flat base 138 is square however the flat base 138 could also be round or have other shapes a plurality of apertures 132 pass through the flat base 138 the apertures 132 are configured to allow fasteners to pass therethrough so that the support member can be attached to a support member of a building a neck 136 is formed on the support member 130 the neck extending away from the flat base 138 a bore 134 passes down through the center of the neck 136 and through the flat base 138 the interior.
