I’m looking to get some advice with sistering some deck joists. Usually I know you don’t want to sister mid span, however where the joists have hit the header are almost completely rotten out ( just end rot for about 1 foot ) the other supported side is in great shape however there is no external support as it sits on the interior sill plate though the crush glass stucco of the house .

My question is will I be okay to cut the 1’ of rot out of the bad end and sister to one side a 8’ length with construction adhesive and lots of nails to make this repair and be confident it will correct the issue
