Week 26: April 24 - 30


Week 26 I am working on shingle siding. In the picture above is a ledger board, which is nailed in place before the course of shingles are placed. It allows for better referencing of where the bottom of all the shingles in each course, should rest. Keeps things level and visually appealing.


Shingles are nailed with 5d galvanized nails, usually 2 per shingle, but sometimes 3 depending on how wide the shingle is. I paused here to install another drip cap, which is again pinned in place.


Shingled all the way up.


And this is the third siding we have been working with. LP siding, or Louisiana Pacific siding.
