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 |
