Following on from the Labour Day Laboring post,
Harvey and I have:
- Pulled all the skirting board off
- Found that the bottom of the wall framing (sits on joists) was rotten on the south and west (box window) wall
- pulled of the weather board on the box window to find it was mostly rotten also
- replaced all damaged wall base beams on west wall
West wall base beams - replaced the framing of the box window
Box Window framing replaced - put the floor joist that ran along west wall in place, thus the reason for fixing the above west wall while access was there
- removed all weatherboards on the west wall
- replaced one west wall stud that was damaged
- called in a builder to replace the structural corner studs that are damaged/rotten
Would be interested to know if there is a name for the bottom of wall framing board, and the name of the board that sits on the foundation.
