Part 2/10:
The project involves assessing existing structures—specifically, a two-by-four running across the house—to determine if adjustments are necessary. The goal is to match the new flooring level with the deck, possibly raising the support if needed. Insulation is also slated for installation to improve the space's comfort and energy efficiency.
Materials on hand include some T11 siding, although it's not in pristine condition; however, the builder deems it suitable for lightweight exterior use in this context. As he works, he considers future improvements, planning to purchase additional lumber—a two-by-ten—to create a bar-height counter that can serve as seating and help prevent water intrusion.
