Today we finished sheeting the west side of the roof. We cut the tails of the rafters/TGIs plumb over the deck and faced it with another TGI. The pitch of the roof is 9 X 12 so it is very hard to climb it with sheets of OSB ( 5/8" sheeting) in our hands. Below is the east side.
This is the east side of the roof. We have one strip about 36 inches wide left at the top. We cut the strips today, but the rains forced us to pack up about 4:00 PM. We sheeted over the dormer holes and then cut the openings to size. The forecast for the rest of the week is no rain. Tomorrow we will install the last strip of sheeting at the top, chalk line the tails over the deck, cut them plumb and face this side with TGIs. Then we can install the last strip at the bottom. We will then begin building the dormers and installing the facia all around the house. We will be using 1 X 12 cedar boards, then 1 X 4 cedar boards at the top to give it a nicer look.
Once we get the facia completely installed, we need to trim all roof sheeting flush with the outside of the 1 X 4s, and install the drip edge around the entire roof. (We need to stain the cedar boards before we install the drip edge.)
