What happens here

The worker proceeds to remove drywall from other sections of the non-load-bearing wall. He uses a reciprocating saw to cut through the remaining studs and sections of the wall. He specifically highlights another section of a non-load-bearing wall which can be safely removed. He also identifies old exterior siding behind a removed drywall section, confirming the house was expanded at some point. Additionally, an old, single-pane window is removed, which will later be replaced with a new, smaller, more energy-efficient window to allow for more cabinet space.

Goal: Demolish remaining non-load-bearing wall sections and remove an old window.
