Hi, Guest
Looks decent so far. 2x6 exterior walls? And aspenite sheathing. At least it's a wood product.
I'll likely be going through this this summer too. Some places I looked at used gyprock as the EXTERIOR SHEATHING!!! I can't believe it. Some places in Windsor have no sheathing at all. 2x4 studs with 2" pink foam on top. They just use diagonal metal straps for torsional strength on the walls. Fricken rediculous if you ask me. :ph34r:
My current house in Windsor is built like a tank. Real plywood on the floors, roof and walls. Attic is framed with old fashioned rafters instead of pre-engineered trusses. Floors are real wood beams. 100% brick.
I'm gonna miss it. In an earthquake or tornado, it'll be one of the last ones standing.
Oh, and go ahead and get a tire plug kit at Canadian Tire. You're gonna need it weekly. ;)
