Hello.
When I was repainting parts of the facade, I noticed that this stud was in bad shape at the bottom. Do you think this affects the load-bearing capacity (based on the pictures)?
It's the short bottom vertical stud that consists of 2 combined pieces with a height of 210mm. The depth of the studs is about 140mm.
I have removed the parts that were really bad and thus reduced the stud depth by 30mm, approximately 95mm at the bottom of the stud.
Replacing it might go quite smoothly, but I'm not quite sure how to completely remove the studs, as they are nailed somewhere, and I don't have much time now (more needs to be inspected and painted).
I brushed on linseed oil and plan to fill and attach a 20mm board to then fill gaps and paint everything with linseed oil paint. As a temporary solution to see how it looks in a few years. Is this a bad idea?
Some water runoff running along the post down, check the others as well, they support the roof, the paint might hold it together so it's not visible. And see if you can seal it with paintable sealant.
