A significant part of his project involves re-framing the structure to accommodate new windows and doors. He discusses how he might modify the existing walls, using 2x4s and 2x6s to reinforce or replace framing, especially around window openings. Emphasis is placed on creating an insulated, watertight environment with considerations for future expansion, such as adding more windows or interior features.
He also considers aesthetic improvements, like creating a bay window effect with deeper window pockets for a more appealing look. The decision to leave certain elements intact—like the existing soffits—reflects his strategy to minimize work and costs.
