looks like a good start ;D

I built this wall on the outside and I'm in stalling beefy bracing on the inside before I remove the existing wall and put in a header

Looks like you've got a lot going on over there. Always a good feeling working on the homestead.

Yup- got a lot going on, all right! Started putting the bracing up for the existing wall, then I'm removing the wall altogether and putting in a header to open the house to the addition. Load bearing wall big-time, so I'm not taking any chances with it. What better time than September to be doing this, huh?

I'd run a nice big fat exposed timber across there with verticle jack timbers on each end with 45* knee braces if the space will allow it. I love the look of exposed timbers if you couldn't tell.
