We began work on another beautiful Saturday at 8:00 AM. My carpenter and another friend started work on the soffits. I finished the Tyvek wrap on the gable walls. (Notice that the shingles on the rear side still need to be trimmed.) I also finished installing the T1-11 siding with framing nails. They were spaced about 12 inches apart along each stud. My carpenter's rechargeable neumatic nailing gun made it go very fast.
This view shows more soffit work plus the T1-11 siding installation. We installed Z-flashing between the top and bottom sheets of T1-11 siding.
We used all 16 sheets of T1-11 and will need to purchase one more sheet to complete the exterior. We were also able to install two windows.
Z-flashing was installed between the bottom edge of the T1-11 siding and the bottom plate. The T1-11 had to be trimmed to enable nailing the Z-flashing.
The remaining exterior work to complete: install the French Double Door, install two more windows on opposite wall, trim shingles, prime and paint the siding and trim, install corner trim, finish soffits, install remaining Z-flashing to siding, and install Tyvek wrap and siding onto upper wall.
