Day 35 – 8/5 through 8/13 — Sheathing and roof trim
Wow! She's way up there. Actually, one of the weekend goals may be done, i.e., finishing the Typar on the yard end.

And Peter is ready to go as well.

Moving on to prepping the garage door jambs. Notches are needed to fit around the concrete on a couple of boards.
100_0709cr.jpg
Things are going well.

If the compressor will only stand still.
100_0713cr.jpg
The Plan. Who spilled the coffee?
100_0716cr.jpg
With the jamb installed and plumb the plywood can be finished off.
100_0720cr.jpg
Continuing along. You can never have enough clamps. Did I say that already?

The cart loaded for action. This little piece of equipment has been used for a variety of tasks and has proven to be very useful throughout the construction process.

One of the last pieces of plywood sheathing.

It gets nudged into position.
100_0727cr.jpg
And nailed down.
100_0729cr.jpg
Coming to the end.
100_0731cr.jpg
Some careful positioning.
100_0732cr.jpg
Time to move on to trim.

Short day. Getting ready to start Typar on Wolf Run end.
100_0741cr.jpg
Not a lot of work, but a start.

August 10
Saw station set up to prep eave end trim boards for installation on the weekend when Paul reappears.

The give away isn't the date. It's Paul's presence. So preparation to install trim boards continues.
100_0745cr.jpg
Peter and Paul do more prep work on the yard end. A few temporary pieces will provide clamping support for the trim.
100_0751cr.jpg
Clamps, clamps, look at all those clamps (something you can never have enough of - especially when working short handed.)

Trim board positioned on the front of the garage.

Paul wields the magnet rake. It works so good you would almost think it came from The Fair.

5 tiers of staging.

Paul lines up the pressure-treated while Pater works the clamp.
100_0761cr.jpg
Time to nail.
100_0762cr.jpg
Paul attaches Typar to Run end.
100_0764cr.jpg
Looks good!
100_0765cr.jpg
Paul trims the Typar.
100_0767cr.jpg
The work has moved to the peak.
100_0768cr.jpg
Close enough...
100_0769cr.jpg
that we can start attaching.
100_0770cr.jpg
100_0771cr.jpg
Paul works the screws down the trim.
100_0772cr.jpg
The function of the temporary pieces attached earlier can be seen here.

Paul is pouting as he prepares to leave. A rain delay and equipment problem left the Run end not quite finished.
100_0776cr.jpg
But the show must go on so he doesn't get home too late.
100_0777cr.jpg
And away he goes – again.
