Typar and More Sheathing

Forrest helped me put house wrap on three sides today. It'll help keep the sheathing dry and protect me from the wind as well.



If you can picture a nice window here, you can get the idea of what the inside of the house will look like. Not a house for people who don't like wood!

Sheathing

This is as far as I got yesterday.
And this is what it looked like at the end of the day today.
The sheathing goes on the outside of the posts and it is visible from the inside.

The Deck is Down, the Rafters are Up

The deck as of Nov. 13. It is complete but for the missing boards between the posts.

The rafters are installed.

Temporary boards over the stair hole.

Yet another view.

Many, many thanks to Brendan Barden, Peter Flaherty and Dave Williams. They helped me get the last bit of decking done, move the rafters to the deck, and start getting them up.

Special thanks to Forrest Macgregor who spent many hours with me putting down the deck and raising the rest of the rafters.
