Almost done with sheathing. The right side is quite a bit higher so I had to switch to just working off of a ladder for the first three sheets, which slowed me down. I’ll finish up the sheathing tomorrow and then have Mrs. MountainHeart help me install the house wrap. After that, it’s onward and upward to roof rafters! #mountainhearthomestead #fyp #cabinbuild #homestead #doitourselves #westvirginia #countryliving
Got all the boards instalked on the main level. We will start on the gable ends tomorrow, and then install door and window trim, soffits, and eaves before completing all of the battens. The finishing touch will be skirting the cabin with galvanized corrugated metal. #mountainhearthomestead #fyp #cabinbuild #homestead #westvirginia #doitourselves #countryliving #boardandbatten #staining #metalroof
Board and batten siding is going on! We are using rough sawn 4/4 poplar with a 1 inch gap between boards. We will probably go with a 3” batten. Mrs. MountainHeart will start staining boards tomorrow. We are very excited with how this is turning out! #mountainhearthomestead #fyp #cabinbuild #homestead #doitourselves #westvirginia #countryliving #boardandbatten
Roof deck seams are tapped, underlayment is on, and we are ready to start installing our metal roof! We’re going to keep it square using the 3-4-5 right triangle method. I’m also going to predrill my screw holes to help prevent scratching of the Acrylume finish. #mountainhearthomestead #fyp #homestead #cabinbuild #doitourselves #westvirginia #countryliving #metalroof
