So when we bought our house 2 years ago, we noticed a weird spot in the middle of one of the rooms. Stupidly, we did not think much of it at the time. It's gotten worse over the past year, and my wife wanted me to fix it before turning the into a nursery. So today, I tore up the carpet and found this ...
It looks like the previous owners had a chandelier put in the dining room (or did it themselves), and instead of needing repairing drywall decided it was a great idea to cut through the subfloor of the upstairs bedroom. They used 2x4s to put a "cheater" board in to fill in the hole with a scrap piece of 3/4" plywood. One of the 2x4s failed, and looks like it everything was being held up by a diverter for the HVAC return (the sheet metal shown). That's now destroyed and will need to be fixed as well.
So, my question is - how do I fix this right? I'm thinking the only correct, safe was of doing this is replacing a large enough section of the subfloor so it spans across the floor joists.
