Today I finished sheeting in the end gables and covering them in house wrap. I sheeted over the windows on both ends for the winter. Next year I will cut back the house wrap over the windows, and router the windows out. I ran out of white Tyvek, so I had to use some blue to finish. It makes it look like the house is winking! Tomorrow I will finish staining the last half of the ridgepole, the last half of the west side purlin, and three of the upright logs supporting the roof system. With these completed, the only staining left on the house is the 2 inch strip on the underside of the facia boards. This has to be completed before I install the soffit boards. Since I won't install any soffit boards this year, it can wait for next year.
Once I have completed the inside staining I will dismantle all the scaffolding, load them on two trailers, and return them to Al Anderson and Paul Talon.
I have a load of 15 sheets of OSB being delivered tomorrow to sheet over the main floor doors and windows. I will cut them so I can use them on the garage roof next year. I will send back 14 sheets of 7/16" OSB, 6 - 24' TGIs and 8 -2 X 6 X 16' with the driver for credit. This will clean up all my building supplies on site for the year.
I have one 3' exterior door that I purchased last year that I will install on the main floor on the north east corner of the house. This will give me access to the house, yet allow it to be locked up for the winter.
