I'm after more advice folks 
The bath in our bathroom has been leaking for years and has rotted away the floorboards at the end where the leak is. I suspected there could be damage to the joist too and I went under the floor to have a look on saturday and found its not in great shape.
Problem is what to do with it. I'd like to remove it and replace it but as its about 30 feet long and goes through a couple of walls I dont see how this could be done without pulling up all the flooring in bathroom and living room. As it passes through the walls I dont think we can just cut out the bad section and replace it. I'm guessing this must be a fairly common problem so whats the normal method of fixing it?
I was wondering whether using joist hangers and running a new joist next to the existing one would be sufficient?
Anyway I'd welcome some advice on how best to fix it. I took a picture while I was down there and I'll add when I get home.
