Kim Campbell, one of the workers from last week, helped me today. I had hoped that he could get up on the roof and finish the flashing and ridge cap but morning condensation and an afternoon rain kept him off the roof. The wetness would have made the tin as slick as ice and very dangerous. We had to execute plan "B" and finished the fascia on the front of the house with pressure treated 1" X 6". I think it looks really good... Kim did a great job while I "held the other end of the board.":
And a long shot from the NW looking SE:
After we finished the fascia, Kim moved one of the living room windows and the door frame to make room for a required (by code) light switch. After he finished the framing we sheathed the exterior wall with OSB and stapled on the foil/foam/foil (R-15.67) insulation. Next we temporarily set the windows in the living room (we'll finalize their placement tomorrow). I'll cover the foil with HardiPlanks so the back wall can be stuccoed like the block.:
And an inside shot of the windows (office window, left... living room windows/door, right):
Our deck will eventually be built in front of the living room/office windows (below) at the west end (far end) of the house. Tomorrow - if it doesn't rain - we'll get the roof finished. Otherwise we'll work on framing the inside walls.
