Its about 10 inches thick from outside brick to inside sheet rock.
    thank you.

    • @twagner6155
      @twagner6155 Před 6 lety

      You should leave the porch as it is and not close it. It saves on air conditioning. To transition from brick to sheet rock get a sledge hammer and make random holes, it's more interesting.

      Tommy didn't install a jack stud--there is no header--just a 2x4 across the top (where the header would normally be) acting as a nailer. Not specifically mentioned in the video, but the opening's "king studs" look to be the regular wall framing studs.
