Default Dry rot...

Hi all,

We've just discovered some dry rot in the house whilst renovating the
en-suite (ground floor, in the extension, with a flat fibreglass
roof). We've knocked off
all the plaster and render from the block walls and plan to treat them
with some
cuprinol dry rot stuff, and we're replacing all the wood from the
room. However, when we took down the ceiling plasterboard, we found
that the rot had touched the ends of two of the joists (about 60cm
worth, from ends towards the middle).

As we've not long purchased the house, cash is kind of tight - we've
got access to
some acro-props if need be - can anyone recommend what the best thing
to do here is? We're edging towards splicing in two new joist ends.

Cheers

Phil
