Shingles are being put up with pneumatic staple guns The strip of ply wood is for a ledger, The bottoms of the shingles need to be put on level. The gaps on the edges need to be about 3/4" away from the other shingles side lap.
The first row was a double lap of shingles. The second row is a single layer, a ledge was used through out the whole shingling process. It went pretty quick after we got a system down.
These are clap boards nailed about 3/4" up from the bottom of the board. We used a story pole to keep the courses where they needed to be.
For seams in the wall we put building paper behind it so water wouldn't be able to get into the sheathing. Lath is used to make a bulk water management system in case it does get behind the siding.
Window trim was screwed on, and lath had to be cut so it would be down to the sheathing. The door trim was hard because it needed to be belt sanded to fit with the soffit.
The gable ends got 3/4" plywood for furring strips, due to the fact shingles are thick and the freeze would have to be adjusted.
Vycor was added to the door for sealing. Bow ties were added to the corners.
