PICTURES!!! Adding the rest of the sheeting, the Tyvek, roofing stuff and foam!

Finally getting a chance to add pictures from the last 2 weeks.  We added all the rest of the sheeting on the outside of the walls and the roof.  Then, we added the Tyvek wrap (this was tough!!), Scott added the IB3 (black stuff) on the roof, and then we began adding the foam.  The sheeting took quite a while and wore us out quickly.  The Tyvek didn't take long but it was hard to do once we got up high because I would roll it out and hold it in place while Scott maneuvered the lift (I was in the lift during this!!) and then he would staple it up.  Scott had to straddle the roof to get some of the peaks stapled.  Then Scott also rolled out all the IB3 on the roof (will never use this stuff again!).  Next day - we had to replace one full piece of the IB3 and a partial piece (pictures show it below).  Since all this has gone up, we've been working on adding the foam to the outside of the walls and the roof.  We have the northern facing wall completed in foam - 2 layers of 2" (4" total) of rigid foam - and we have nearly the full roof completed.  We got rained on today and was not about to have Scott traversing the roof on slick foam!!  So we headed to do laundry.  Tonight we should have the first of 4 layers of foam finished on the roof plus more....

And I added a few fun pictures for you all!!  Scott taught us (neighbor boy and I) how to make a harness from rope.  I have a video of it too, but youtube is being slow so I didn't get that uploaded today.  Also, all this sun we've been getting has resulted in some fun tan lines!! Check out my sunglasses tan line:)

Next week we get our doors/windows, our siding (board and batten) and our metal roofing (ended up changing our minds on color and went with something called BONDERIZED which looks like a natural steel color with flecks of copper in it).

Also, we booked our rental truck!!!  Still figuring out when we are coming home, but we decided to rent a Penske truck instead of driving the truck/trailer back to OH....  Now we need to figure out if we are flying back or driving.  I'm hoping to drive but that's up for debate.

Enjoy!!! Hopefully by the end of the week we will have all the foam completed and bucks in the windows so we are all ready to put them in next week.... so much to do!! 

Remember - click on the first photo, it will enlarge, and then you can scroll through.  Thanks!!! Enjoy!
