Well thanks to you guys I finally got this side done. Thank you for all your help and advice.

It's been awhile since I have posted, it's been awhile since I have got anything done. We are getting closer,got the last window in, and all the corners set up, the f and j channel set for the soffit,will finish next wknd.

He has a thing for boxes of staples and nails, and tools.

He finally quit stealing stuff from me and went to lay down.

Still have not got to much more done,4 more ft up all the way down.pretty good start on the siding.

I saw that in one video, so I put some small shims behind it. I was going to ask about sealing the inside but you answered that one two. I haven't been getting to much done,kept having issues,then had to go back to work.

Well I have to,once again,thank you guys for bringing this to my attention,did some more looking this morning and,why I would think other wise,you all were right. So today I will be fixing my screw ups.

I took yesterday off,had some personal things to take of. Now the video I watched and what you are telling me about the bottom of the windows is the same, aside from that what I have looked up tells me to put flashing on. We have a light rain this morning so I will look into it further.

Well at least you have done it once before. This is the first time I have taken on a project this large. You gotta learn some how. Didn't get much done today, got the second window on and the cover for the cellar done. We put the white flashing up so that when the siding goes up it is white...

There has been some, it seems that where ever there is any seam, wether it is in the siding or sheathing there is some rot. We had to replace a small section,under the big window,of the interior sheathing.(the walls go,from inside to outside) Sheetrock,p&l,then wood the same as the exterior...

The ends of a couple of the joists had some rot, someone else has added some additional,patches I guess they would be called. We used that copper treatment where we could before we buttoned up the timber and everything else. I am confident we won't have any issues. The wrap at the top is to just...

Sorry guys no pics this evening, got the timber replaced, it is ugly but very functional. Not my best work which is why there are no pics. It went in so tight I had to use my splitting maul to get it in as far as it needed to be. 1000 times better than what was there. Thanks again fellas for all...

That is not what it looks like under the house(ooops) this is. The floor joists appear to be notched into the timber.

Ok this morning I cut out a section between the floor joists,this is what it looks like from the outside. My plan is to cut out what I need to replace above the bottom timber, and pt a new one in,in about a 32in section. We have a large timber from the side of our barn that feel off last year...
