help needed with sistering floor joists
6 years ago
We recently had a section of Sill Plate replaced. Now the ends of (4) joists are failing due to moisture rot. I plan to sister new joists. The rot is less than 1 foot on each joist, should I run the entire length (12 feet) with the new joist or is a partial sister adequate?
