Thread: Kitchen Remodel

Tweet

Here we have the west wall down to the studs and was blessed with this screwed up mess. Apparently there was a large window there at one time so I have a header that can be trimmed down to size. Most of the support 2x4's are sliced together so I ended up removing quite a bit of the wall and starting over. I also replaced the sliced 2x4's with 2x6's and furred out the rest to a 2x6 wall for better insulation. I'm going to do a 1 inch layer of spray foam and then bat insulation, I bought a foam kit from Menards so we'll see how that goes. I but just the bat in for now till I get all of the kitchen to the point of where I can foam all I need to in one shot. I had to cut the bottom of the studs loose on the south wall to pull them in about 1 1/2 inches to get the wall straight. This old house had a new basement put under it in the 90's but I think a match may have been a better idea but we'll get a new house one room at a time
