Plywood Sheathing on Sides

The sides were covered with 1/2" plywood. Holes for the range hood vent, bathroom vent, outside lights, windows and doors were left uncovered or cut out at this point. The plywood was glued and screwed to the framing.

It was in doing this that I realized just how difficult a bay window would be. I wished I had just put a shed style roof section over the window so it was just one piece, but probably would have had to settle for shorter windows. At least I could have made the slope match the 10/12 of the main roof and then I wouldn't have had so many odd shaped pieces of sheathing and siding.

The next step was to insulate the walls and roof. It had to be "dried-in" which in Colorado isn't usually much of a problem, but putting the tar paper over the roof was required a week or so before the spray foam could be applied.
