This is the ceiling for the house. It is sanded, kiln dried hemlock, 3/4" x 6" x 16' tongue and groove. It is very dry. Willy wanted it that way to make sure the wood doesn't shrink. The finishing is the first thing applied to the rafters, and actually serves structurally to hold the rafters together in a single roof structure.You cannot find dry, sawed hemlock here, so the day after the raising, Lisa and I went to Scierie Clermond Hamel in the Beauce to pick it up. We rented a 20 foot van to save on delivery charges. It was a bit of an adventure, with the roads freezing up before we got home. The next day we had to get it up the icy hill to our house. It was stressful, but the van avoided the ditch.
The roof should be finished (knock wood) next week. materials will be applied in this order:
- hemlock finish (3/4'')
- vapor barrier
- roof trusses (11'')
- Roxul wool insulation
- plywood sheathing
- house wrap
- SuperVic metal roofing
