I am gutting my kitchen and in the process discovered that my outside wall is nothing but studs with clapboard nailed to it. No sheathing. Nada. In the interest of strengthening what I can without re-siding the entire front of the house (the kitchen portion is only 8 ft. wide) what do you think of installing some plywood on the interior before the drywall? A full inch of plaster is coming off so I could do 1/2" ply and 1/2" rock or 3/4 ply with 1/4 rock. Thank you for any suggestions.
