This seems like a continuation of an earlier post -- did not see it anywhere.

You need to replace the rot, lots of way to support of bolt steel onto the rotted beam. You could actually add a post, cut away the rotted portion, add short beam and move post to under joint. Or even bolt a welded cutom extension onto the beam after removing rot.

Unfortunately, sound like you are not a DIY if you already shelled out $15K for fixes and hired a lawyer ?

See you list seattle as area, if you actually are south (like east renton) or within a mile or so of where I occasionally drive, would be willing to stop and give free advice (FWIW <G> from BAC engineer) ---Hmm, on second thought, since you have a lawyer, better recind that offer?
