Gable ends are finished and primed for paint.



Upper fascia board is done also, I started priming for paint on both upper & lower fascias:


House wrap stapled onto the new back wall and ready for siding:

And finally we started shingling:

Rob managed to dodge a few rain showers and get plywood sheathing on the gable ends.

He also sistered a few of the compromised rafters on the main roof and began installing a new fascia board so we have a place to mount gutters on the house.


P.S.  I got the siding and the shingles!

It has been raining all week at the house, so progress is minimal.  Today my wife Robin came out to the house and helped me fill the dumpster by cleaning out the remaining furniture and the piano which was in the back half of the living room.

I got a before photo for contrast:

Gable end walls got built yesterday,


The original exterior wall which is now an exterior wall again,  received some fiberglass insulation.
Finally, exterior sheathing was installed on the back wall.

Rain for three days delayed the plywood sheathing going on the rafters.  Plastic stapled to the rafters on Tuesday kept things quite dry.

Today however, after a morning rain shower, we got it done.  Photos of the process are below.

Rafters done,  but no plywood yet.
Light rain starting and scheduled to continue tomorrow, so we put up plastic and will continue Thursday or Friday as weather permits.
