Wood Rot

Probably close to 100 years of soil being transported under this wood framed structure by surficial run-off has filled the floor joist bays with dirt.

Roughly 12 inches of wood rim joist and mudsill are completely gone due to rot.

The space where a rim joist and mudsill previously existed is now filled entirely by dirt. The stone foundation wall is exposed in this photo, mortar has no binder material left and is now dry sand.
