However, if the floors had been in good shape, and the rest of the frame was solid (checking with a hammer for weak spots), I might have cut out the damaged portion and welded in new metal, perhaps adding extra connecting metal inside to help strengthen the joint between the old and new. Thanks just me. Other opinions may vary.
