Creating Open Concept in 6 Old Abandoned House

What happens here

Using a pry bar, carefully remove the exterior trim and detach the existing single-pane window from its frame. Measure and frame a new, smaller window opening with new studs and a header, using a miter saw for precise cuts and a nail gun for secure fastening. Once the new rough opening is created, cut a piece of OSB (Oriented Strand Board) to fit the exterior and nail it in place to seal the opening, protecting the interior from weather during the renovation. This step improves energy efficiency and allows for more cabinet space.

Goal: Remove an existing single-pane window, frame a new, smaller opening, and board up the exterior for a weather-tight seal.
