Photo 258 of 410, Defective House

Here are some water stains on the 2nd floor sill plate. Directly below this is the roof of the screen porch. You can see that the rim joist behind the roof instersection is moldy and rotten. We are going to have to rip up a section of the porch roof to get that out of there. I'm half tempted to leave it (it's big, big money to tear off then repair the porch roof), but this is outside my kids' bedrooms - they've already got lots of allergy and sinus issues and certainly don't need moldy floor joists in their rooms aggravating things. So we've got to get it out of here, in spite of the fact that I'll be raiding their college funds to pay for it.
