Right basically take a look at this:
This is the sight of my front porch entrance. Directly below this is my cellar. I have had a little look directly under and all i could see was a rotten sort of joist which held up the plaster right beneath that floor. I couldn't see what was holding the floor up. that rotten joist wasn't taken the load of the floor though. so must be beyond this plaster...
Basically part of the floor is caving in, but I cant work out whats holding the floor up in the first place. I'm assuming it may be some joist running along it, but cant actually see this from underneath.
Any tips on how best to tackle this, I know this may mean ripping the whole floor out which is a shame.
Cheers!
