Guest House Floor: Moisture Repair, Encapsulation, and Joist Replacement

Well we have some major floor work ahead in the guest house, I’ve known moisture had been an issue for some time now. Now that the weather is getting cooler it’s time to get this repaired.

We will encapsulate the crawl space as well as run a dehumidifier in the crawl. Most of the water seepage has been addressed so now it’s time to repair a few floor joists as well as install a “real” subfloor, instead of boards that were put in many decades ago.

We will do one room at a time, I already replaced the bathroom floor a few years ago. The bedroom will get done last as some foundation jacking will be required to get a better level floor. I just spotted another snake skin that was not there a couple days ago! I have not seen any snakes since my first encounter (moth balls were added). But it would clearly look like a snake has been in there.
