This is in the little room on the ground floor, This wall was a retaining wall, it seemed to be the one wall that held the whole house up. See that stud that seems to be leaning up against the one on it's left? That gave the support needed to hold up the house. The little cross piece, about an 8 inch 2x4 braced the leaner and leanee. I felt so much better after Roger put up a sturdy post mounted in cement to make sure everything didn't come tumbling down.
Isn't it lovely how the lathe and plaster settles at the bottom of the studs. It actually becomes cement like when its settled that long and you have to take the prybar to it to get it out. Then you shovel it up into a bucket and pack it out to the trailer.
