I still have to make the strut supports and install the hurricane straps. Next weekend I'll get all the Hardie board, plywood, and corrugated tin to get her skinned up.
Hahahaaha! Nice Chris! Does it come with a heart key?!
On a lighter note, I get off on the 5th of February, I might have to come drink a beer with your foreman and criticize your work.. I'll hand you a tool every now and then. But seriously, I have laid tin on my dad's boat shed too many times after hurricanes. If you aren't done after Mardi Gras I'm free after that.
All the rafter struts and hurricane straps are in, and the roof is skinned and ready for the tin.
I lost my help to a paying job early yesterday, so a bunch of this I was doing alone. It really slows the process when the only guy on the job has about half a clue to what he's doing
I was hoping to get the Hardie board up this weekend also, but that stuff is kinda heavy to work with solo. Going to try to get some up during the week, but otherwise it'll all be up next weekend. Then it's on to roof tin, door, and windows
Oh, and the obligatory pic of the Super, doing what he does best...
The windows are framed up, with two installed. And two sides are up. It's a little slow going as the Hardie board is kinda difficult to cut, and kinda a pain in the ass to hang. This shit better be worth it in the long run. The windows are a little smaller than I had originally planned, but since I've gone over budget by about $500, I had to lower my expectations just a tad. Eh, I can always change out to bigger windows later if it turns out to be a problem.
Here's where it stands right now.
We have expectations of finishing the siding, getting the tin on, and fabbing up a door next weekend
Oh, and Tim, I ain't gonna lie to ya... it is nice. Hell, it was right about 70* yesterday
