Lloyd and I were facing busy work schedules for September and had not done a lot in August due to vacations and other commitments. We decided we were going to demo and rebuild the exterior wall on Sunday Aug 28 with and early start and a commitment to get it closed on the same day:
7:00 AM new temporary support wall built into place.
Pass through was created for building materials extra TP and reading materials. Coincidentally it looked like a mini church window and given the fact we worked on Sunday this was as close as we got to being reverent.
By 8:30 we had the old wall down, you can see the rot at the bottom below the window.
After cleaning, we stated building the new wall for tilt up. We got to this about 1:00 PM after a trip to Home Depot to pick up additional material. See sections of the old wall on the driveway.
We used pressure treated 2x4 on the bottom plate, then wrapped in Blue Skin waterproof membrane and with a Butyl rubber seal at the bottom.
