Tiny house 5.0 - fascia boards - 13 photos

Tar paper and plastic. The southern bayou gets about 8 feet of rain per year.

Now finally with a dry workspace, what was really needed involved a brush, stain, urethane (3x), and so much sanding. We polished all the boards with an orbital sander, then went over each with a 120 grit hand sand, then hand sanded them all again after 2 coats of urethane with 150.

And nubbins. I don't know what they're really called, half my building lingo is slang.

Also going on was this:

I thought we urethaned the beams on the ground, but clearly not. Now I remember instead racing to tar paper the roof because the rain was constant. We did this in 2015 and I already forget half the details. I do remember the rain.

And that we used a high gloss.

One of my favorite shots of the whole project comes from this period. I'll post it somewhere. Seems it would be lost here.

It looks like almost nothing has been completed between these two photos.

Except that someone trashed the workspace.

Really we were cutting the top trim boards and ultra carefully installing these micro drip edges. Normally they are about 3 inches wide but that would cover the whole board. Which, if you're cheapin out on the materials, is prolly a good move. If you're trying to display the materials, its way too big. We finally found a few pieces of 1.5" at a lumber yard somewhere but they were one short of what we needed. Except they had two bent ones. We figured we'd be able to make it work.

Meanwhile, spring was coming to the bayou.
