My son had the windows replaced to cut down on dust when Hudson is there a month ago. One of the frames on a big window was eaten previously by termites. None are present now. He has to tear out the load bearing header and replace the studs. He's already torn out the sheetrock but asked for help for Saturday. None of my sons except one in South Dakota is a carpenter. I am going and doing all I can. I'm no carpenter.
He will have everything as far as lumber goes. The window will have to come out but that will be no problem as it was just installed and the old nailer fin was removed when the old windows came out. The replacement windows are screwed in from the jam He can sheetrock but not much good at taping and bedding. If we could just get him in the dry Saturday that would be great.
I'll be happy to pay you for your time. The house is in Gainesville. Please pm me or call me 94o-399-9o35 if you think you can help.

Good luck and a bump...I can't help on this but maybe someone can.
Don't let your ears hear what your eyes didn't see, and don't let your mouth say what your heart doesn't feel

If you can’t find someone, review some YouTube videos, they can be very detailed and helpful. I’ve done many repairs this way.

I’ve done many window stools and cased around them with trim….
Unfortunately I haven’t done very much framing…
Never been to a camping world. I prefer Dick's to be honest.
