Building a Victorian Style Breezeway Video

Bob points out that Victorian cottages had camp-style exposed framing in the old days and Ryley is attempting to recreate this look with modern attributes. They are using straight grain fir for the framing as it is a higher grade than most framing materials and will hold paint better. Next step is bead board sheeting to look like Victorian paneling. On the outside where in Victorian days builders would have attached the shingles Bob is installing rigid insulation. He puts on two layers perpendicular to cover the seams. Then Ryley and Bob nail a layer of plywood sheathing to the outside.
