Mike,
Button it up and get on with the bath remod. if its structurally sound. Get it done before the baby gets here. she will have your ass if you don't. We built a brand new kitchen before first boy. Just a year ago, we had our master bath and the entire bottom floor done. I just took time off and have the crew finish my house before she kills me. I am a contractor. Our bread and butter is the custom end kitchen and baths. We design and build them.
After the baby is a little older (maybe a year later) get away for the weekend, and have the house tented. YOu guys will like the time away. By then, you don''t have to carry so much ***** with you. is this your first baby?
Its ideal to get rid of all of the infested wood, but somwtime it isn't always possible. take a larger pic of the area and I'll let you know. It is 1x sub floor or 2x. You can get rid of it by replacing it with ply wood. Builb it up flush with the existing floor. Most people don't know that when you buy new lumber from the yard, it already may have termites in the new wood already. I always suggest to clients that have the place one and replace what your can and tent the house. You kill every one of those little fuchers. What part of LA are you in? talk to your contractor about the problem and see what he thinks. If you need an pinion or advice let me know.
