When we first pulled the drywall off the exterior wall we noticed (who couldn't!) that the wood was rotted, clear through. We knew there was extensive water damage to this room because of the roof leaks. After continued excavation of this wall it became evident that the bathroom window was originally located in this particular spot, and guessing the window was left open for ventilation for decades.
We wanted to install an exhaust fan but the ceiling doesn't have enough room to handle the housing or ducting, so we chose a wall-mounted unit.
Installing closed-cell insulation into the walls and will place fiberglass insulation in the void that has never had any. Irene has fully inspected this area, swept clean with her whiskers.
Once the green board is installed we won't be getting into that area again, in our lifetime.
