Zip taping, roof and stairs going in

We have been able to make good progress despite all the rain we've gotten out here lately. The ZIP sheathing has been completed and they have taped all the seams to make it 100% air- and water-tight.

This is from when they were in the process of applying the tape.

After a few days of rain, they began building up the roof and now the main house roof is almost complete. They can hopefully get the garage roof completed before the next rain comes in next week.

And today they also started installing the metal staircase structure - that means that hopefully we will be able to check out the upstairs pretty soon :-)

Framing complete - sheathing and roofing almost done

It's been a while since I have updated the blog, and there has been lots of progress. Framing has been completed and the Zip sheathing from Huber which is both airtight and acts as a water barrier has been added as well.

We have received signoff on the framing from both the structural engineer and the county and the next steps are to get the seams between the Zip panels taped and to get the foam-roof built up so that it's ready for the TPO membrane.

The pool company has been repairing and re-installing pipes and pool plumbing. Everything is holding pressure ok and the pool is ready to receive new coping and a new cover.

The foam for the roof was delivered today. Overall our roof assembly is R-64.
