wall sheathin

put up more wall sheets today. it's slow goin, as i have to infill the headers with rigid foam prior to sheathing over those spots. sounds easy but it tends to take a while.

i whipped out the old spray foam gun to fill the gaps around the rigid foam pieces and help hold 'em in place. messy thing, it's working OK. the gun cleaner can is messed up and its getting on my hand every time i use it.. my finger tips aren't lookin too good right now.

tomorrow i'm going to try covering the small gaps remaining in the left and rear walls, and get the rear gable covered. the blizzard will be blowing from the NE, so getting these walls covered is most important.

i've been using a putty knife to cut the rigid foam, but it doesn't work well. the knife is flimsy, so it doesn't create a straight nor consistent edge. probably some kind of sharp, stiff blade, mounted in some kind of plate to keep it perpendicular to the sheet would work nicely.
