Wouldn't it be wise to have the CAD drawing in mind with reference to the
frame members then pick some logical location to add a stringer down the
side to which the door will be attached. Esthetically, I would think
getting a bedroom window in that location would seem best and then have
another bedroom window in the place of the large one. Of course, this is
going to require grafting of some skin. What a project! Doable with the
right tools.
Look for a private message later today.

Sure, a CAD drawing would be nice-- maybe but what will it tell me I won;t find out doing the job. Time and work like that is $ which adds to the cost of the project. "On the fly" is how to do most of this stuff, yes there will be bonding panels-- we can do it...
