[QUOTE="Catt57, post: 3828484, member: 34578"] Got the bad lumber out. Replaced with good lumber. Everything was cut tight enough that every board had to be tapped into place but not so tight that it was difficult. At one point I had most of the new lumber fit into place and not a single screw holding any of it in. I also got the damaged wiring replaced. And gave the whole thing a good coat of that "old school" termite killer. Some of the lumber I left may not be pretty but it is still solid. On the side I spliced there is a 2x8 scab that goes at least 3 ft past the joint both ways and has 10 3" screws on both sides of the joint. Plus it is offset and ties to the 2x4 framing as well. It shouldn't go anywhere. Tomorrow I have to nail the tin on the outside back down, recaulk the window, replace the insulation, put the plywood paneling back on, and trim the window. The fact that this is the woodworking shop sure makes it convenient having all of the tools and saws right there. :D [ATTACH type="full" alt="20220730_233513.jpg"]290772[/ATTACH][ATTACH alt="20220730_233451.jpg"]290773[/ATTACH][ATTACH alt="20220730_233433.jpg"]290774[/ATTACH][ATTACH alt="20220730_233426.jpg"]290775[/ATTACH][ATTACH alt="20220730_233504.jpg"]290776[/ATTACH][ATTACH alt="20220730_233437.jpg"]290777[/ATTACH][ATTACH alt="20220730_233448.jpg"]290778[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
