Advice on changing framing on the outer wall
Hello everyone, First of all, thank you in advance for all the advice :) So I bought an older house for my first project and I decided to renovate my bathroom by myself. It is a fun project, but I want to consult some of you more knowledgeable people. I am planning to remove the window and fill the opening with wall. So, as seen in the picture, the wood is rotten from previous water damage. I started ripping out the studs to replace them, but I see that the outer wall is nailed to them. I don't think that portion of the wall is particularly load-bearing. My biggest concern is how to attach the outer wall plywood back to the studs. There is also a section as you can see where two plywood sheets join together. Any other general tips that I didn’t think of would be super helpful as well :) https://preview.redd.it/k4i16yhmxh9f1.jpg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1ec545ae27d1133c3ba69aa192295f150988772c submitted by /u/Critical-Ad-2010 [link] [comments]
