Inspired by Pizzadad, I floor jacked a joist that was coming through the bedroom ceiling, then I cleverly attached it like the builders should have in 1969.
Of course, I had to build custom brackets to do the job that a simple joist hanger could have done under normal build circumstances.
The wife was less than impressed that I brought the floor jack into the bedroom with assorted lengths of 2x4's a sheet of plywood for the floor jack, a level, and my Dewalt screw driver and drill.

What could go wrong? LOL.
Worked out fine. Couldn't get it quite flush, but just mud and paint from perfect.
I love it when a plan comes together.
