Have termite damage on 11' section of overhead garage door wall, this gives me ideas. May lose 1 1/2" of depth but a pittance for a secure wall.

I like the PBR bottles

Thanks!

2x6 right over all that and would be perfect

How did no one mention the 🍺 in the corner?😂😂

The sheathing must be flush with the outside of the foundation. That takes up 4" and the 2x6 brings the woodwork flush with the inside edge of the foundation. The Spruce jam (I use resawn Spruce) is then flush with the inside an outside foundation edges, and runs from the floor to the underside of the header. The center point and right and left side 2x6s all should be the thickness of the foundation wall. Some builder finish the interior face with 1/2" CDX or drywall. Add that thickness if you do.

The question all DIY people have is what size opening to frame for and finish for. IOW, what are the actual size of the panels and are all mfgrs standard there? Does a 9 ft door give you 9 ft of finished opening or something less? How much head room is needed above the opening for standard hdwr and what can you get away with using low clearance tracks?
