Wood Sheathing Goes Next
Wood Sheathing installed today over the insulation material. Looks really cool up close from the scaffolding.

A super close up shot from the scaffolding showing the new insulation installed between the trusses.
An underside view of the overhang gives a new perspective of all the (frontal) truss work.
SDI Insulation started work today. Their work is limited to the 3rd Floor as the 2nd and Ground Floors have natural stone insulation. This should be done by tomorrow and then the roofers take over to create the long awaited (Mansard) roof. Dear Sun, glorious sun, please stay !
Up close and personal with the trusses: Calistoga Tribune’s mystery photo from 2 weeks ago.
The Calistoga Tribune tagged the Francis House as their Mystery Photo last week. There were 8 persons who guessed right (see article from the Calistoga Tribune). Thank you for being so observant of the step by step progress in your neighborhood. Soon, the building won’t be that mysterious anymore. 🙂
Each time I climb the makeshift ladder to reach the 3/F, I ask myself what can make this floor as special as the 2/F (with interior stone walls). The 3/F will have walls that are essentially the inside walls of the mansard roof. What do you think about a faux finish…
I know… I know… it looks like nothing much is happening but next week of good weather means full throttle on getting the trusses and wood sheathing in place. We target a roof up by April Fools Day (and that’s no April Fool’s prank !)
The third floor is getting a lot of attention on days like this.
