Got this little front porch framed up super quick!! Next up, a pergola to go on top! 😎 #porch
What happens here
Large sheets of plywood sheathing are lifted and secured to the newly framed gable. This provides structural rigidity and a base for the exterior finish. Immediately after, a black house wrap material is applied over the sheathing. This weather-resistive barrier helps protect the house from moisture intrusion and improves energy efficiency.
Goal: Once the gable is reframed, plywood sheathing is installed to create a solid surface, followed by the application of house wrap for weather protection.
