If all of the above hasn't made up your mind. Think very hard and long here.. Picture your self working many, many hours,into days, into weeks, into maybe even into months. You will want a dry place for all of this time, and it will occupy a lot of the space you have allowed. Inside and outside of the same wall repaired & bonded at the same time, as Wayne stated. Sure does require a lot of room to work inside & out. When I tore mine apart, the inside wall was untouched,shore up the roof in a way I could get around inside. Then tearing the outside siding loose, breaking the inside wall bond from the rotten structure and going back was all in all one thing. Then picture, building that wall on both sides at this time, I believe a whole section would have to be removed, and then somehow discising the new seems on the inside. Calvin think hard here, !!!

Check this guy out here. He's got stamina, but my wife would kill me for making the yard look like that.

It's insane to even waste the time pondering it. RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!
