Depends on the total height of the joist. I don't think it will hurt on what you have. I've seen inspectors call for metal straps on shorter boards, but it served the carpenter right for using 2x6's, the minimun for floor framing.

Love the new joists. Build heavy and use hurricane straps at all wood-to-wood connections in the house frame. Y'all get about 250 mph wind protection from that.<br/><br/>And be careful to anchor the frame. Our house partially lifted when London hit. Our workshop floated back 2 feet. Our decks were all over the place. Ya's don't need that for your house. Y’all doing great Darlin’! Love the new joists.
