One of my biggest surprises here was when I decided to nix some old aluminum sliding windows in the living room and install newer, more energy efficient windows. The prior owners had added a fireplace chase/chimney to the wall...poorly...and it must have leaked forever. When I tore into it I found that the upper sill board and headers...and 1/2 the studs...were rotted to the point of being like balsa wood. So...what was gonna be window replacement ended up being an entire wall replacement/header....and cus I had it all torn to Hell...I just went nuts and now we can see out....LOL.
