Another cold night here; 2F/-17C.
It's good to have the doors installed, although the glaring white of the primer coast is a mite unsettling. The beautiful skylight changes the acoustics dramatically; not badly, just different.
We'll have a work slow down now. We hope we can have the electric cable and meter installed tomorrow. Beyond that, woodstove installation, plumbing, electric wiring, wall insulation, etc. will have to wait until we see what is possible.
We have the job of overlapping the underlayment that closes the gap at the wall joints, applying the special seam tape, attaching the insect blocks, and attaching the exterior trim and fascia boards. The latter must be trimmed to fit but we haven't any way to do that nor do we have scaffolding or an appropriate ladder, so we'll have to find a way to manage. After all that we have tinted caulking to apply.
