It's like wrapping a present... for us

Today we started to wrap and sheet the house.  We needed to get the sheeting on before we could finish the exterior stairs up to the addition. Once these stairs go in, this process will hopefully go alittle faster since we won't have to go up the slope of the yard with materials.   
We started the day by wrapping the house in moisture barrier, Pat and Bonnie took the lead on this task. Then we placed the sheets of plywood siding over it.  All the different angles and surfaces made it a bit more difficult than if our house was a "normal" shape but it did make us feel like there was a huge jump in the process since we can no longer see through the structure.

We also had a roofer come by to give us an estimate for adding shingles to the new roof (and the old one too.)  We will have more work to do on the south side of the house to prep it since there is currently no insulation in the roof and it needs some tlc.
