Spent a bunch of time working outside today. A lot was done and there's still much to do. The damaged outside wall is much stronger now. It's not rebuilt by any means but it has four 6'5" and two 5'8" new studs in it now and 7' of the bottom beam was replaced and some spray-in foam insulation was added. The top part of the wall where the impact was is too badly damaged to do anything with so there's a wood brace in there supporting what's left. That's the reason for the two shorter studs. I had to stop a couple of times while my help continued. That's about $600 already and the roof hasn't even been touched yet. I didn't want to do anything up there until I'm comfortable with the wall. The wall is much more stable now and has been closed up. As for myself, I went through two sugar crashes today. One this morning (45) and the other about an hour ago (56). I think I'll wait a few days before tackling that project again. Oh I'm gonna be feeling this in the morning.
