Day 7

The day started off with light showers and some gusts of wind then the sun came out and it became a nice day, why I’m I starting with a weather report? Well I’ll get back to that in a moment.

Today’s task was quite simple, John and I tackled the bottom layer of interior sheathing with O.S.B. I didn’t really know that much about O.S.B. except that it was a type of particle, glue lam, plywood-ish thing. But I guess that it is also a vapor barrier. So the glue and the material being pressure treated make it impervious to water? That make scenes, I guess. Then what happens to the barrier when you punch a screw into it? Does it still keep its vapor repealing attributes? I’ll believe that it does and that’s why it’s important to punch through it a minimal amount of times.

While sheathing the northeast corner, creating a sweet cut away detail (this detail is awesome and it showcases all of the wall’s inner workings), John was up on a latter making sure the angle was correct for the cut away when I hear from him, “Oh, our tent just did a flip!!!”, a sight that he saw through the upper window. To this comment I responded, “I’ll be right back,” and promptly ran out to gather up the saws, cords and the tent.

Then the sun came out and it became a nice day.

Out.
