We are finally ready to get our exterior closed up for the winter weather. We first added our #30 roofing felt (since we still hadn't received our two ply jumbo tex). Then we cut 2x2 welded wire mesh to length and staple them from our top nailers down to our toe ups, creating lateral shear strength. We overlapped every piece 10''. We also had a local propane company come out to set up a 1000 gallon tank that we will be renting from them. They did all the exterior work to get propane hooked up on the outside, thank you Wes!! We also "sewed" our bale walls as you can see in the video, this will make the wire mesh act as one unit inside and out. We do not have the inside done yet so there are just loose strings hanging EVERYWHERE. After all that we were finally able to get woven house wrap put up - so now we can sleep at night knowing our walls are not exposed to the elements. thanks for watching, dont forget to like and subscribe to stay updated!
