More green

It just keeps raining. Makes me think that this might be the end of summer/fall and go right into winter.  Hoo Boy!  It does slow down our project somewhat although I was able to get the last of the Logix foundation foam blocks returned and a load to the dump.  I'm trying to spruce up the yard before the snow flies.

The boys were able to get up 90% of the green fascia which looks great.  I will be going up this coming weekend to help Ross finish the trim.

I did have an issue to deal with concerning the 2x4 strapping at the roof peak on the great room.  The boys put the top 2 pieces of 2x4 right up to the top without leaving a gap for ventilation, 2 inches was required. Up I went with a skil saw and, set at 45 degrees, I cut a slot down the length of the roof.  Of course the saw didn't quite get all the way through so I had to make a second pass with a hammer and chisel.  I must have cut through about 20 nails, the saw wasn't cutting very well by the time I was finished. Straddling the peak to do this work out one way and then all the way back, another task I could have done without.  It's done now and we are almost ready for the roofers who are coming on the 8th of October.  I am really looking forward to being able to keep the water off of the floors.

I plan on stapling up some house wrap and placing a couple of windows for sure this coming weekend.  It is such a nice drive through Little Fort especially now with all the fall colours.
