Re: Vicki's Melding of Art & Science

Well tomorrow we are going to get the rest of the framing lumber & the door. We have decided to go with a 36" plastic door. Hopefully the weather will hold so I can get the framing done & a roof on before the rain hits.

I have decided to use 6mil visqueen as a moister barrier & wind chill insulator. I am going to be doing this on the inside of the walls & the exterior as well as the bottom of the structure.

Re: Vicki's Melding of Art & Science

Today I think I will finish out the stick framing of the walls & possibly set the door jam. I would have done this last night however, It was not an easy task working on the ladder in the dark the light was just adding to the issue. I guess you need the right tool for the job. [BIGGER LIGHT
