Sheathing walls

I drove up last weekend to put up more sheathing.

My excavator had brought in rock to form the base of my driveway. This will form a solid base so I can have access in mud season. Next year, after everything has settled, he will put down a layer of "ledge pack" as a finished surface.



He placed the black geotech fabric underneath the rocks, to hold them in place and keep them from working their way into the soil.




I finished putting the sheathing on the front. The 2 boards temporarily hold the plywood in place, while I nail them in.



I started framing one of the gable ends. I'm doing a test fit here; the clamp is temporarily holding the plywood in place. There will be a window in the center of the gable end.




Here is the view from the outside. The 2x4 provides a ledge to rest the plywood on to move it into position. Those sections of plywood are heavy when moving them by yourself !




Next time I hope to finish this gable end and do the other end.
