Working in Western Washington Weather

We will have to work around raindrops from here on out.  
Some of the furing strips were only screwed through sheathing, so we backed out the screws and added  2x4's to the interior to secure them in place.  The siding attatches to the furing so we want it to be nice and secure when we're driving down the road.
(The furing sitting in the sill will curve around the wheel well DK is standing in front of, in picture below.)

Soffit peices finish curing inside.  Spotty rain will make attatching all the soffit boxes tricky
There are always challenges, obstacles, and divine opportunities in life.
This is our roofing...all of it!
The color is called Musket.  These are the ridgecap and flashing peices.
No more furing requires securing!
Coffee, Northwest staple.
Meangreen adhesive seal. 
DK is applying special ecofoam, made to fill tinycracks around windows.  Expands less than regular foam, so it won't damage windows.
The ecofoam for windows is applied with a gun that is cleaned with nasty solvent.  The style of  application worked well under soffits, too because of the length and manueverability of the nozzle.   
We'll also use it our our sweet little 6 foot door
DK ordered a different underlayment than we originally planned on using for our roofing.  It should arrive in a day or  two. We didn't want to use an asphalt product so DK found an alternative called Rex Synfelt.





It's going to take some juggling, patience, and hard work.  We had no idea how much would be required of us to do this.  The best part is finding that we have what it takes!
