When I arrived at the house in the morning...the exterior wall had been stripped of the siding the day before and Scott had started to remove the windows:
He had also constructed a temporary wall.
to support the roof trusses while we remove and reframe the exterior bearing wall:
He built the temp wall about 4 feet in from the exterior wall- there are no nails or fasteners in the temp wall, its basically held together with friction
the exterior wall sheathing was removed:
then we attacked the framing:
opening up the entire exterior wall
We then installed a new 16' long beam to span the new windows and support the roof load:
framed out the new windows:
by the end of the day, the rain had started- we were able to install the plywood sheathing and get the wall closed in...next we install the windows!
