Re: Spencer\'s Pole Barn Project
Now I have a question for all of you. I am getting (hopefully) the trusses delivered on Thursday. We are getting into the winter season up here in Michigan and I really want to get this roof on. I am worried about getting it started and not finished. What I am thinking is just getting the o.s.b. on, covering it up with something, and wait until spring to shingle it. I don't think tar paper (or whatever is currently used) will hold up all winter long by itself. Although the blue tarps are working for a temporary shop I don't want a blue tarp roof all winter, it probably wouldn't hold up anyway. I am wondering if that Tyvek house wrap stuff might do the trick. I've never seen anybody use it on a roof before but you guys have probably not seen anybody do half the stuff I have done in this post and its various links. So I am open to suggestions, I don't want to break down and hire somebody to do the roof for me. It's not just the money, I have done almost all of what you see so far all by myself and that means a lot to me. Do you think Tyvek would hold up? Any other suggestions? Even if I had the time to put the shingles on I am afraid they would not seal in these temperatures.
