Bob and Ryley take a look at the corner of the house where the sidewall has been removed to show the plywood and Douglas fir sheathing. Ryley explains that the gaps between the boards are there because of shrinkage over the years. He points out a bedroom window on the wall that is now in the middle of the addition. The window needs to be removed to take part of the wall down and moved to the corner so that the bedroom still has adequate light. Bob and Ryley remove the window and next, Ryley uses a reciprocal saw to cut the new hole in the sheathing. The window hole is already framed on the inside to receive the window. Ryley continues cutting as Bob starts closing in the window with studs and three quarter inch plywood. They hang the window in the new opening, level it, and nail it into place every twelve to sixteen inches.
