We just fnished an addition on our CM house. We added sq footage to the living room by adding on to the garage towards the street. We want to add additional four-paned windows to the wall where the new living area is. You can see in the picture below, that the new addition is where the white primer is. The green section behind that is the rest of the garage. The two sections behind that is the new living area. Upon removal of the siding I find a regular framed wall. My questions are:
1) Is there any structural issues with removing the framing and inserting a 4x4 post under the rafter where those two sections meet?
2) What is the best way to add a post?
Thanks all!
