This morning and slightly later stopping due to other commitments, we started putting up the third line of cement panels on the External Wall.
Cement-Boards-3rd-Row-Day-1-1
Cement-Boards-3rd-Row-Day-1-2
These panels were the pre-formed sheets with the groove and tongue on the two long edges and these 7 sheets went up on the Front Door extension and also up in the Conservatory next to the Great Room. These had the extra tongue edge on top so we can put up another line of cement boards to fill in the gable ends of the roof porch and extensions. We put whole sheets across the windows and doors for maximum racking strength to stabilised the building against wind shear forces.
Tomorrow, we will continue around the rest of the building using the 13 remaining sheets with just the groove cut in it. All is working quite well indeed!!
