The remaining old mudroom rafters are removed. New rafters are placed in. Without Dave, I used a bottle jack and telepost to hold them in place. With Dave, I pushed up and he hammered them flush with the 2×4 ledger.
Next, the stucco around the 1F mudroom door frame was cut to accommodate a wide trim board to match the windows. Before that, the framing had to be moved over 1-1/2″ to ensure an even stucco cut line.
Next, 3/4″ planking had to be added. The stucco just hung there previously, not connected to anything as there was nothing behind it. Planks were added to the back side of the new planks and the original wall planks to keep them together. PL glue was used to reinforce.
Ready for 2×6 studs to join the stucco / blank wall to the new bottom plates and re-positioned top plate beam.
After that, doors.
After that, designing a floor.
