That 2x10 is a header for that door and channels all the weight above it into the jack studs on the side. Practicality everything you have uncovered there is load bearing and would kinda be a bear to replace. Not to say it's impossible to diy but you would have to support everything as you tear into it, you will most likely have to remove the door/jamb and rehang it after putting the studs in. It's not something you're going to knock out in an afternoon without prior framing and drywall mud/tape experience. How many of those studs are you planning on replacing? That uncovered stud on the far right is your king stud, it should go all the way to the top. Is that black on it just a bit of mold or is it rotten?

It's solid brick on the outside? That's gonna make things interesting replacing the plywood sheathing as you kinda need to attach it to the studs. And there might even be some sort of vapor barrier or housewrap on the other side of that ply. I've never tried building a wall from the outside in like that. You definitely want your buddy to help you out. Edit: I just finished a similar project where the prev. owners put a hottub in a small non ventilated enclosed deck but windows instead of doors, also I had cedar siding so I just took the entire wall down and reframed, sheathed and wrapped everything. I wish you lots of luck, water damage is a massive pain in the rear end and usually turns into a bigger project as you dig deeper. TheDon01 fucked around with this message at 05:11 on Mar 6, 2016 |
