We noticed today that the damaged wall was beginning to assume a noticeable inward bow, which is not a good sign. We fabricated and installed a series of T-braces that were made from 2x6's to reinforce the wall. When installing we noticed that the wall was bowed nearly 1 1/4" inches in some areas. We were able to reduce that bowing to under 1/4" The braces help spread the load and restore most of the structural integrity to the wall. We will leave them in place until we have a permanent design.
The Insulation installer was here today and filled the wall cavity with closed cell foam. The cavity was larger than we had realized. We have removed most of the solar panels, and the rest should come down over the next few days.
The first photo shows Ryan prepping the inner wall. The second photo shows the bracing and some of the many holes that were drilled to refill the cavity.
