Rotten floor surrounded by a house trailer? At the corner of the back door and bedroom wall the floor...

At the corner of the back door and bedroom wall the floor is starting to rot. How do I fix this w/o spending tons of money or tearing down the bedroom wall and taking out the sliding hindmost glass door?
put plywood down and different Sheetrock if the wall needs it
shouldn't be very expensive


Unfortunately it may be your merely option for a 1 time correct repair.

It will be more labor intensive compared to cost of materials.The problem is once you start opening things up you find more.I guess I might suggest inquiring CL for a handyman service to help with this project.I a short time ago feel it would be in your best interests.

I will utter here to also look for the cause behind this problem,such as wet getting in and under your flooring.

Answers:    Unfortunately, I hate to share you, that the sliding glass door may very economically be the cause. If it is the cause you will manifestly have to remove it so that you can fix the rotten wood it sits on and make it river resistant. If you are lucky the water damage will only go up to the wall and not under. You might know how to go under the trailer to see how far the rot go. I know how you feel, I really didn't want to hear it when my husband told me the same point about our kitchen.

My husband carefully took out the door, and measured around the rotten nouns. He snapped a chalk line to make sure his cuts be straight and used a square so that corners were right angles. It is important to enjoy straight cuts when you fit your new board. He set his circular saw to only cut the depth of the floor board (not into the joist) and cut out the measurred nouns.

He painted all the joists next to Kilz paint, since it resists mold and will deflect water damage. He also put the shiny tin video you put on duct work on the joists the flooring sits on, so that any water that did brand it back in would be repelled. He also put the video up along the jamb about 2 feet so that any hose down seeping would not make it to the wood. It is best to use treated lumber because it won't rot as hasty.

Next he made sure everything was square, put in the floor boards using screw, and reinstalled the door. He also used plenty of caulk, so that we would not have to repeat this.

I may have missed a few steps, but to be precise the basically what he did.

Edit:
This is a pretty lengthy situation for a do it yourself project, but at least you will have an hypothesis of what the job entails. Lowes have a list of installers that you can hire through the store. You can ask at your local store who they would recommend for a job close to this. Lowes will also guarantee all the work done. We have used this for several projects and own been very pleased.
