Thanks :haw: I try to build everything as strong as I possibly can.

I did buy a handful of simpson strong-tie brackets for those but decided against using them. Still debating popping the sheathing off to put them in, though I'm pretty sure a grand total of two dozen 3.5" hardened structural screws and 4 2x4s will hold a bay window up just fine.


These days my secret is not having pictures taken. My metabolism has dropped significantly in the last few years and I need to lose a little weight. Fortunately, it's comfortable construction/junkyarding weather and will be for at least another month or so...

You've just over-engineered your internal Insulation

If you had to come up with a number, what percent of the wood in your house (before you started working) was structurally sound?

It would have to be a negative number.

Please do post some photos of the tree planting, if it's not too much work to get them.


Can you please also do it if it's a bunch of work?

I'm fully convinced the house held up because if it fell down it would be less work for kastein to fix.

Only thing holding it up was spite
