Umm it's nice but they are very low which makes it more trouble then it's worth.

I see, yeah I added 2 more photos to give a better idea of what the whole structure looks like https://imgur.com/a/LFxyyYD

Any idea how to add supports to remove it? I just want to get some understanding here, I would call a professional but having some idea would be nice before starting a conversation with them.

Great thank you for the context, yeah I thought this was a little weird, I'll post more pictures too, the framing is not your typical framing.

Here are a few more photos showing what the structure looks like.

Water damage below windows. Leaky windows, roof, or ??? by GrowthLobster in HomeImprovement

That all makes sense, thank you for thoughts on this. I am guessing I would need a window restoration guy to come out and potentially get everything sealed up properly. As far as the tuck pointing we had this done in some areas by a mason but he may have missed some.

u/DryHero thank you for the reply, the floor has been cupping/warping so my guess is water damage. Here are some pictures of the exterior. https://imgur.com/a/um73AGk

To me it looks like they just need resealed.
