The old floor had settled more than 3 inches from east to west. You can see here how the old joists were patched together and repaired piecemeal over the years and shored up with makeshift piers. It's all coming out and being redone right.
This rotted joist and crumbled pier were holding up the floor. It's amazing that it hadn't collapsed!
Eventually, the entire floor from the front of the house to the read had been removed.
By the time the demolition was complete, the pile of rubbish in my backyard had grown quite substantial.
A foundation crew came in to pour the new footers.
And finally, the new floor joists could be installed.
