After finding that most of the interior walls were framed with the studs the narrow dimension, we found that we would have to reframe all the walls. Oh, well.
We then figured out that the ceiling was sagging 2" because of being way underframed with 2x4's on 2' centers with 12' span. So we ended up dropping all of the plaster and putting in new 2x6 ceiling joists. I really dont quite know what was holding the roof up having the ceiling joists being nailed with 1 toenail on the ends.
