After further inspection, the wider section is an add on and is not part of the main structure....is it still more beneficial to go ahead and knock down that wall to create one room? Also, Should I consider giving up even more space by creating my second leaf more than 6" away from the existing Structure? The reason I ask is that the outside is simpy Lath, or wood paneling, and offers little to no isolation...I am worried that, even with a 2 leaf system, there may still be significant leakage...I know it isn't the IDEAL structure, but I have to make it work for me...any help is appreciated, I am going to start building within a month to a month and a half so I DO have some time to get the design set.

Also, At the end there are two 7'6"X4' swinging wood doors. I don't intent to use these and am wondering if I should remove these or simpy leave them and leave a foot gap between those and the second leaf.

Best,
Keith
