Side of house in early march...
Side of house yesterday,
Side of house right now,
You cant tell but it looks like a drunk put up the first two sheets of asphalt paper. The first row travels about a foot up and to the left, the second row travels down and to the right about 2 feet. I bought it at 10pm last night and wasnt sure exactly what weight to get, so I got the heaviest stuff they had (price difference was only a dollar), that is #30, which is apparently not what I'm used to handling. The ends curled hard enough to pull the staples out of the sheathing so it's all attached with ring shank galvanized roofing nails (the only nails I had with a big head on them). Then the nails got a coat of asphalt and picture.
All I have to do is lay a single course of cement blocks on each side of the door (water splashing issues), and I can pop in the door. Then siding + soffit. Lowes has cement board siding for mad cheap, $300 to do the whole building so...
Then for the interior which is relatively simple, just have to rewire 7 outlets and fire-tape drywall. Since the water is still off I dont see any reason to fix the bathroom just yet. The hard part is done though, supporting the roof while removing the old wall was a bitch.
If anyone wants 1x8 tongue and groove southern pine sheathing, or 32x54 replacement double hung windows just ask. The windows were a mistake and are still in wrap and the sheathing is old w/o nails.
