Time to start the cladding
By cladding I mean anything that goes on the frame. A great reference for timber build found during my google research means I am planning to have:
- Cladding
- Battens to crate air circulation
- Water-proof layer (House-wrap) - blocks water allows condensation to escape
- Isolation
- Vapour layer
- Internal boards
Good Start
Used my new nailer to staple the House-Wrap and then add the battens to oen side of the shed.
Water proof
Completed the water proof layer - just need to finish the battening.
Mobile Elevated Working Platform
Getting and and down from the roof is hard, a Mobile Elevated Working Platform (MEWP) would be ideal. Alas these and scaffolding towers cost a far penny. So with the spare timber left I build a MEWP.
Raise the Roof
Highlight of the day, neighbour sees my hard work as roof now glued down. I lying on top of the roof exhausted so he hand me a beer.
Cladding the Front
Despite it being 29°C today, I start on the front cladding
Cladding Secret
The secret to get the cladding is place is to hang it using some hooks and ties (3d printed of course).
