to my aunts carpenter. Cant afford this, but i guess I cant afford the floor falling through either. At this point, I am wondering if it goes deep enough to damage the joists.

One thing we did notice, the wood of the threshold itself appears solid. But the wood underneath it is a bit spongy. I wish it weren't so darn cold and wet outside that door, It would be nice to pull the threshold off and get an idea whats under there.
