Yes looks like it. I said that at the top of the latest post with pictures. Although researching it, it does not seem like the end of the world, if treated, and 75% of the joists do seem sound and solid enough to be sistered to.Is that wood worm?

the floor was dippin an the WC was leanin forward with every user because ther was no joist support exactly under the damp patch on the subfloor. plus the short subfloor boards were left floatin uder the wall(?)
is that a stairwell bulkhead to the left of the pics?
probe the joists for live woodworms - any live ones drill a few small holes and soak with chemicals.
you'd do well to cut an resite the cold supply to the WC - lift it higher an it will give you room to screw asister on to that joist.
is that joist definitly firmly fixed at the double joist an under the bath at that far wall?
an the joist nearest to camera seems to suddenly end in thin air?
lookin at the pics again i'd say if you got a joiner in they'd pull up more of the flooran check just how its been slip shod carcassed in patches.
if you cut your losses with the copper pipes and replaced them with plastic going through bored holes not notches it would make for a sounder job.
you dont have to cut any wood from any joist - its only bugs not dry rot or somethin.
sister with 2" x 6"'s not ply - 2" x will give something to screw the subfloor to
Yep Bob definitely knows his stuff but has a low opinion of DIYers. How do you know the work wasn't the work of a cowboy "builder"? There are so many cowboys out there its not true and even the Pros will not take as much time, care and attention as someone doing it there-self.i'd let the roofer roof an you get a joiner in for a view an 2 pee's worth of advice.
When it finished don’t put laminate back it’s not suitable for wet areas.
