Actually the pictures are a couple of posts later.. Sorry for the mix up…

Yea, sorry about the zoomed style pics. Didn't think about it.. At least this way you get to see it up close and personal. Measure once > cut once > get board stretcher....
Not really..it is all washy like a DAli or Picasso fresco on plaster that got wet...pixelated and LSD looking. Not that I'd know what LSD is.

When oversized pics are posted you leave out a goodly number of BT viewers as that large size makes the pics unaccessible to those with dial up.
Just so you know.

Nice House!
Is that one of those old in wall heating systems, where
the bare wires help dry out the water from the leaking window?

<where<the bare wires help dry out the water from the leaking window? No, Silly boy,...... the wires are there to support the top plate:-)

My bad! Can't say I've ever used that structural technique before.

This was a bank repo drug house and it happend to be my first home purchase. I knew that the window was leaking ( obviously ) not to mention the termites but when I pulled off the sheet rock I almost cryed. Oh yea, on the outside the put the brick moulding on the outside of the storm window. Basically at this point I had to reframe the wall and replace the exterior siding. I actually got all that done within 3 days including caulk, prime and paint by myself... Pretty proud of that one... This was pics from just one of the two windows on the same wall... Pics to follow...smaller pics that is...
The wire in these pics was spliced from 14G to 12G once in the insulation then under the leaky window > once under the leaky window it went back to 14G.. Fun, Fun
The rim joist only had surface termite damage in case you were wondering why it was not fully replaced.
