Sheathing is the first step in drying in a house, which also involves a weather-resistive barrier, roof underlayment, and window and door installation. Sheathing a house takes place immediately after framing. In fact, some contractors sheathe walls before they raise them. Sheathing is also an important step for the thermal performance of your house by keeping air from blowing through the walls. This is often accomplished by carefully taping all the seams in the sheathing. Practical applications of air sealing will be discussed and practiced in this course. After completing sheathing and the rest of the dry-in process, subcontractors can continue to work inside the house installing electric, plumbing, insulation, and drywall, even before the exterior finishes (roofing, siding, etc.) have been installed. This class will work as a team to sheathe the tiny house started in the Tiny House Framing course. Students will install wall and roof sheathing and tape the sheathing seams for thermal performance. This class is ideal for tiny house enthusiasts, and those interested in new construction of any kind, large or small. This class is part of our Tiny House series. Students under 18 may attend with parental permission.
