sunday i sheathed the rest of the left side of the roof.
today, i sheathed about 2/3 of the right side.
notes on roof sheathing:
plan the sheet positions and ensure you follow them.
lay all the whole sheets of a row first, then nail down the end pieces. let them hang off the edge, and then run across it with the panel pilot in the router. fast and easy. just watch out for where those offcuts land.
pry rafters to align with layout marks on the sheets before nailing them. the butt ends of sheets are nailed at an angle, so its fastest to nail down a whole row before going back over it with the hammer, sinking those butt nails flush.
the last bunch of sheets need to be staged for access as the roof is closed up. i just tacked on a bunch of 2x scrap to the fascia and had the sheets rest against that. other options?
it'd also be nice to have all my tools accessible from the sheathing side of the roof, rather than climbing down to the attic every time i need something. maybe something attached to the gable end, or something hanging from the ridge?
