Days 39 & 40 - Strapping and Windows

Today we got a good start on the strapping in preparation for the Hardie-plank siding. We are using the 'rain drain' system which is now the code in BC, where we run vertical strapping under between the siding and the tar paper. This 3/4" space allows any water that might get behind the siding to run down the paper and /or dry up.

Here Ryan is preparing the window openings for the window installation. We now have seven out of eleven windows installed and sealed tight. We should get the remainder in tomorrow. We are hoping to have the house locked up by Friday.
