Today we worked in the rain from about 10AM on for the rest of the day. We had hoped for a nice day like yesterday to get things dried out a little more. We did work hard all day to get some of the detail work completed so that we can begin putting on the roof. We put the insulation bats in the outside walls. These are put between the studs on the outside of the walls since the tri-board forms the inside wall surface. Then the Tyvek type of barrier was put on the outside of the house.

One crew put the window sealant strips around the window openings to prepare for setting the windows. After installing the insulation and the barrier wrap we worked on putting up the fascia. The fascia goes on before the roof goes on as it is then easier to determine where to put the bottom edge of the roof metal. We worked until after 5 to get all of the fascia completed.
A crew of the ladies worked on painting again today with Tisha and then with her to help with the installing the insulation.
The electricians also worked most of the day finishing up the roughing in of the electrical wiring.
The tarp went back onto the roof early in the day. Before that a crew worked on putting the clips on the ceiling panels to hold them up into positions against the bottom chord of the trusses. In order to do this a hydraulic automobile floor jack used with a post from the bottom to lift the ceiling up while someone on top uses screws to install angle brackets to clip the ceiling to the bottom of the truss.
It was another long day of work mostly in the rain but we left feeling like we had accomplished a lot. Tomorrow hopefully the rain will hold off and we can get the roof installed. This is the goal of the week.
