The rear left corner support post in the barn had very significant decay, to the point that it was not supporting any load. The load for this corner - and hence the load transferred down from the roof was being supported by the surrounding studs, some of which had also decayed. This required immediate attention before the new sub-floor surface could be installed.
View following repair of the rotted rear left post and sill. The decayed parts have been replaced with pressure-treated dimensional lumber that will not rot. The (as yet untrimmed) foam is to close air gaps and deter rodents from using the gap once the wall surface is installed.
The decayed studs in the workshop area have been replaced in addition to the decayed parts of the sub-floor planking being replaced with pressure-treated plywood.
