One of the joists close to the end joist of the house had a very significant crown in it.
If the floorboards absorb humidity from the air or moisture from.
The joist on the other side of the crowned joist was properly level meaning it was in plane with the end joist.
Between it and the end joist just 12 inches away there was a 5 8 inch drop.

I went into the crawlspace with a level and that joist is bowed up about 3 4 to 1 compared to the other joists on either side of it.
