We also finalized our blind order - I'm so excited! I think we got a very good deal and they should come in before the end of the month. We ordered two different colors - Cloudy Day and Sandstorm - perfect!
Meanwhile, Jim was busy cutting and installing more clips. Again, these help resist lateral forces. He's making them in batches - each one has to have 8 punches in it so it's a bit hard on the hands!
Then he cut all the rest of the sheathing to fit up on the deck and loaded it up on the Bobcat. Then he started dragging the pieces off onto the deck.
Last piece - all of the sheathing is up on the deck now!
Next it was time to put everything in place and start fastening down the edges. There was one joist that had a big crown in it so Jim had to use his planer to flatten it out. You can see all the sawdust underneath.
All the sheathing is now fastened down along the edges! The opening is the access point to get up in the attic space.
Jim followed behind me nailing...
Now the deck is completely done - time to move on to roof rafters! I like that our wood is from the USA with the American flag on each piece! Of course, with the tariffs on Canadian lumber we are paying extra now!
Jim is starting to make all the cuts in the rafters...
He got 5 cut out so that's a good start! We are supposed to get some rain tomorrow so it may be an inside work day but lots of progress today!
