here a little post of the termite damaged wall i replaced today. in the next days/weeks i will open a separate post of the whole process. just takes a while to send the pictures from my phone to the computer, upload them after a long day. that top plate is completely eaten up, specially the far left side: ready for framing and the ramset to shot the 3" nails into the concrete - man that thing is scary ready for action: my little side table on the miter saw rail, holding up by the tiny dewalt clamps, they come in handy before: after ( with bigger opening for the new door ) i have to do the top studs above the top plate going towards the roof with a bevel cut. i just have to go back to homedepot tmw because the studs i bought the other day (because i knew i were short on studs, thats why i bought 5 more), they started to warp so bad that i couldnt even use them anymore. premium KD whitewood stud are crap when you dont use them right away. kinda prefer the green doug fir studs . had 10 of those for weeks in my garage and they didnt warp at all.
