My neighbour's floor beside bathtub which feels soft under lino.

SMALL area affected. He is NOT a computer literate person & asked me
to post this.

I cautioned him not to bath but to shower as I feel floor joists
might be compromized.
For pix of bathroom go to:

then click on photos.

I dont mind helping him fix it but does anyone have similar problem?
What is best way to remedy rotten floor joists? Thanks in advance.

The best way to fix joists are to sister them and cut out any rot.

If the place is for sale, he needs to get some better photos and fix
the fence. Showing three cars outside blocking the house is not very
impressive to perspective buyers.



I went back and looked again letting it download. At least they all have
plates on them.

"I have chosen not to use the services of a professional realtor."

Not hard to tell. Seller needs to learn a little about clutter. People
can and should live any way they want but when you are showing a house to
sell, you can't.

Nice bag of trash hanging on the doorknob there. Must be a reminder.
