Major Floor Work Update: Bedroom Repairs, Sub-floor Leveling, and Wall Removal

Major Floor Work Update

Well it’s been over a month now and still more to do, seems like every time I open a wall or take off flooring more repairs are needed, The bedroom area is much worse than the kitchen area. looks like the room was added onto a long time ago, like 6-7 feet, it does not have tree timbers and is sagged or just not properly built.

I find nothing square and not level, I am trying to level the sub-floor the best I can without removing the floor joists, one wall you can see where a window was removed many years ago. The wall that divides the two rooms is not plum and not load bearing, that said we decided to open the wall on one end (see pic).

Also the middle of the wall is open to the crawl space and lets cold air enter in the winter, also as I mentioned none of these bedroom walls have any insulation. most of the electrical lines are loose and the staples are missing or have rusted away.
