Joist in time

One of the things (among many) was some problems in the basement crawlspace. There were several rotted wooden joists that had become damaged over the years from a low window moisture problem. There was also an apparent leak in a waste pipe. Once my contractor Richard was able to get in there and asses what was going on he found that the pipe was ok but that the joists really did need to be replaced. It wasn't cheap ($2600) but it was far cheaper than the credit I got from negotiating with the sellers after the house's inspection. They gave me a $5000 credit, so at least on this one I came out ahead. Here are pics of the new joists in place:
