We cut the next piece of sheathing and Jim got it up on the landing.
I went up on the upper landing to help support the sheathing while Jim got it outside.
Once he got it in place, I had to take a picture of what it looks like from the inside. Not much roof section left to fill in!
The sheathing is in place and Jim is getting ready to fasten it in place.
It's really tough to work on this side - you can see that Jim is basically vertical as he's trying to get these screws in. Plus it's pretty hard on his feet because there's not much room to perch on those toe boards!
Jim decided to cut this next piece a little different. There are many angles to this piece and it would be really tough to get them all perfect on the ground. So he basically cut a rectangle for the next section.
He has no choice but to take the sheathing up on the outside now. Getting it up this high on the scaffolding is not easy either!
Readjusting...
...and then sliding the piece into place.
Fastening the piece down...
Now that the piece is in place and fastened a little, Jim puts a straight edge up...
...and then uses his saw to cut off the extra!
Then he cut two little pieces for either side...
Cutting the very LAST piece of sheathing!
Definitely have to sign this one for posterity!
Attaching it...
Again...you can see how Jim is vertical working on this steep roof. Scary!
Ta da!! It's done and Jim is one happy man - with one happy partner on the ground!
Putting some tape on to help keep out water until we can get some underlayment on.
Finishing up the tape...
While Jim was working on the roof, I started dismantling all the tarps and plastic that Jim had stapled up to try and keep water out. It looks so much better without all that plastic down! Plus, water had worked its way under the plastic near the door so it was a little hazardous to walk on. Another nice block to check!
Not one to rest on his laurels after a good day, Jim wanted to start investigating a next step. He has spent a lot of time researching which type of fascia board to use. He's getting a quote on the one he wants but it's not structurally heavy enough to support gutters. So Jim ordered some special steel track that only has the flange on one side to attach to the bottom of the tails. This gives him a way to attach the fascia board as well as the soffit and gutters eventually.
Some end-of-the-day pictures...front side...
...and the side with its new roof!

Watching your house come together piece-by-piece can be such an exciting thing. It looks like you guys are moving right along and checking the blocks off quite quickly. I hope that your home will be finished soon and the move goes well. Congratulations on the new home and good luck on the completion of it!
