Ok the wet rim board is sectioned and removed, now I have to go get a replacement.
The subfloor has a little water damage but I think it’s confined to just under the door frame and does not go under the hardwood floors in the dining room.
Evenin Woods! Another parenting failure on my part, I let the kids watch The Waterboy with me.

I think I have that same siding on my house Chuck.
So here's my show and tell -
I had to replace the sewage soaked sub-floor. The room was original as big as the marble tiled area. I expanded it by the width of the plywood shown, so 38 inches. Doesn't sound like much but it made all the difference in the world. Basically added 30% more floor space. The marble is installed over slab so I'm leaving it, matched the height (basically) with the sub floor, and then used self leveling compound. That will dry overnight and I'll then do the floating floor tomorrow. It's a waterproof, cork backed vinyl.
Back at it today, after PT. I need to finish taking the siding off to expose all the underlying wood that might be wet. Remove and replace that, then begin to put it all back together. After that, install the patio door.
My house had a similar low wood deck, but rotted, made out of untreated lumber set directly on the ground, no concrete. Tore that off the second summer, poured a concrete slab about the same size, and ripped out the sliding door. It had 3 layers of glass, but aluminum framed and had a freezing breeze come off it in winter. Went back with a conventional insulated metal door (that isn't cold at -20) with a window in the upper half, and put a window next to the door. Like it way better, never really cared for sliding glass doors, and most of the houses I've lived in had them.

In keeping with the homeowner happiness trend ... I discovered a ( what I believe is ) ground hog hole/ burrow at the edge of the deck that tunnels down along side the house foundation ... No luck in deterring this unwanted guest so far, ( I've tried flooding the burrow to no avail ) however tomorrow morning I will be greeting him ( her ) with a cup of coffee, a hose, a seat for me and my trusty .22 and as much patience as I can muster for Round 2 :<(
