Oh I forgot to mention.. I know why it happened. No one put any flashing in. So its a 2 part fix. I want to fix the rim joists first. Then I am replacing all the doors and I will put the correct flashing in.

Ill post pics this weekend. The front door the joists intersect at the rim joist (perpendicular). The joists at the french door run parallel to the rim joist.

At both entry ways into the house the rim joist is rotted maybe 8" right under the door way. It appears to be water damage as there is no flashing between the house and the deck. The foundation is cement blocks/cinder blocks. Do I need to jack up the floor to replace the rotted part? Or can...
