If you are doing a full sister, you don't need anything in the cut out.Edit to add: joist span is 11' 4", 2x10 dimensional SPF
You can rip the whole thing down so it is 1/4" smaller than the old and put a spacer under the ends to get it up tight after you get it in. Put it in so the top is in first so you can hit the bottom into place. .Ok the plan is a full sister, so I'll get rid of the rot and any stains and then just nail a fitted 2x in there. So would the old joist still carry load at this point? Also do you know a good way to roll the new joist in? I was thinking of chamfering the end edges to get it in there, kinda tight space. Could I also just notch put an inch or so on the ends and then shim them once I have the joist in? Thanks
