HELP! Another Delay

Surprise, another delay, just as we were seeing the siding installed.

Yesterday we discovered that the PT (pressure treated) wood we used for strapping the outside wall creates a problem for the steel siding. Seems the wood contains copper which causes a chemical reaction on the metal siding.Why we reached this stage before someone informing us is a mystery. So the screws we have for attaching the siding need to be replaced and we need a barrier between the siding and wood strapping so the two are not touching.

Solution:

Call Pat our builder and Tom our architect. HELP!

Pat quickly cut a roll of plastic into 4 inch rolls and Mary and I stapled the plastic to the wood siding.

The crew continued to install the siding and when the new screws arrive (two weeks) Mary and I will replace them all. (let us know if you are coming up to help)

If you plan to build, plan to be flexible, and create solutions on the fly. Nothing like a little stress first thing in the morning; almost as good as coffee for stimulating the heart. Now where did I put my blood pressure pills?

Thanks for dropping by.
