CLOUD HOUSE GETS SIDING, WINDOWS (ALMOST) AND ROOFS!

After arrival of the cedar siding, excitement took over, and the west wall (to the left) was laid up.

Backwards, but, hey, looks great, no?

Then Saddle-Bag North was done: Abe and Ian screw from the back of a siding board a "fin".

It takes the whole crew to install a 22' long board with fin.

Finished!

For those who cannot wait to see what will go on the Core Walls

beyond the Saddle Bag, here is a sample.

Need to get the rain leaders in the niches, in order to do the roofs.

Meanwhile, Clayton of Pacific Glass ,

brought out a sample of the

store front window setting sill and frame.

His crew came and set their sill and then we added

a PVC sill-pan and ...

... a stainless steel sill, and edge metal.

At the top things got neatly wrapped with ice and water shield.

.

Now the Low-Roofs. First scuppers of stainless laminated with vinyl.

Then black under-layment tacked to the plywood sheathing.

90 mil vinyl unrolled, and cut to fit.

Where the roof jigged and jagged, the vinyl was cut to do likewise.

Heat gun in one hand, roller in other, the pieces were welded together.

A shrink wrapped roof!

Some places were pretty tricky.

But the results are grand.

Even the scupper looks water tight.

The Hi-Roof does not have parapets,

so edge metal was fit over the

under-layment and around the fly-rafters.

Then the vinyl sheets and pieces were fitted,

and welded,

and resulted in a much welcomed roof.

So this is where we are today...ZEBRA HOUSE...

waiting for windows, ready for more siding.
