They complain a lot. Negative people tend to whine a lot, convinced that the whole world is against them.

The ceiling joists are 4.5 by 1.5 whilst the floor joists in the house are 7 by 2 (actual measurements).From my knowledge of beams (joists), the stiffness varies with the width and the cube of the height.he ceiling joists are 4.5 by 1.5 whilst the floor joists in the house are 7 by 2 (actual measurements).

The Council of Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat calculates the heights of buildings by first allocating them to one of three categories: office buildings, residential buildings and hotels, and mixed-use buildings. The floor to floor height of an office building is 3.9 meters per story, or almost 13 feet. Residential buildings tend to have floor heights of about 3.1 meters, or 10 feet per story, and mixed-use edifices' floor heights are about 3.5 meters, or 11.5 feet per story.
