Well, we're already going to have to remove the floor down to the joists and build a new one, and now that exterior wall looks like it needs the same treatment. We'd rather not have to do the three interior walls as well if we can avoid it. It'll take a lot longer, make a much bigger mess, and cost quite a bit more. I did think about getting rid of the two inside walls that border on the kitchen, to make that room bigger, but I'm using one of them to hang a bunch of pots and stuff on the other side of.

Whatever we do needs to take no more than a couple-three weeks, at least the part that involves tearing out and replacing that exterior wall. Once we get past the middle of September, it starts getting pretty chilly at night around these parts.
