" Back in Victorian days when they build very temporary summer cottages, very often you would see the interior studwork exposed, and you, you know, get a beautiful feeling from that kind of a house and we're going to try to recreate that, although today, you have to insulate. So we're going about it kind of it in a convoluted way, right Riley?"

" That's right."

" You've already got these stud walls into place----"

" Yeah."

" and what's special about these walls?"

" Well first thing is we've used [unk], which isn't a stocked item anymore."

" Straight grain----"

" is a better quality than what it normally when you specify spruce or loblolly pine."

" Right."

" So this spruce is gonna be exposed and we want a good-looking wood."

" That's right and we kept all of the good sides, we held inside, which is what you're gonna be looking at."

" We're gonna see them in a minute when we'll raised it."

" That's right."

" Yeah."

" All the stamps are on the outside. We'll use a solid 4 X 6 header in here."

" Yeah."

" Because these are all gonna be exposed."

" Now, are we ready to take this up fellows?"

" Yeah. As soon as there done there we're ready to go."

" Alright. Can I give you a hand?"

" Sure can."

" Alright."

" Okay. Are we all set? On 3. 1, 2, 3. Easy."

" Good."

" Alright, let's spike this in place and in a minute we can get started with the sheathing. Okay, we're doing all the nailing of the blocking from the back side. So they would make sure that all of this studwork is free of any nails exposed 'cause what we wanna see is just the nails and then the boards. You wanna hold up one of these. This is what you call 1 X 6 pine, but it's beadboard 'cause it has that routed outlook and of course, on the edge, the one with the chunk section receives a second piece, the bead is replicated every 4 inches or so, and it'll really take on the look of the Victorian panelling. Now, if this were still the 1890s, we'd be finished. We'd be ready to bring in the painters and call it quits, but because we have energy constraints nowadays, we're gonna be using some rigid insulations; polyisocyanurate. This is 1-inch thick and what we'll do is we'll simply tack it right over this."

" Yeah."

" Using 6-penny nail and we wanna get them right along that line that we have right there, which corresponds with our blocks inside. And we just need one or two. Is that enough?"

" Yeah, that's all."

" You'll pull it in place."

" Yeah."

" Put another one up on top."

" Back to me a little. There you go."

" And now, the neat part is to put a second layer----"

" Right."

" and reverse the direction, so that we go right over our seams and we don't have to use tape or any other material there. Okay, with all the insulation in place, we've given ourselves a guide for nailing the plywood, Riley."

" Yeah. What was done is line the first stud here. We know we have a 16-inch layout for every 16 inches. We've got 2 of this vertically, so we will be nailing through and into the studs."

" Yeah, it's hard to put any pencil marks on the foil."

" Yeah."

" Okay. Are you ready to hoist one over?"

" I sure am."

" Top of the sheet goes on----"

" Right to there."

" This line?"

" Yeah."

" I'm good, right there."

" Same here."

" Okay, let me get the nail stud in right here."

" Yeah, that's gonna be the tough part 'cause you're taking a 16-penny nail. I just slipped it a little."

" There you go."

" And you're driving it just 212-inch the plywood, but it's going through to 2 inches of foam before it hits the stud, which he just did and you don't wanna hit it too hard."

" With a 16-penny spike in it and we're done. Hey Riley, how are we gonna figure out where the windows are?"

" We'll probably know where the windows are, we're just gonna cut them from the inside."

" Well, there's a lot to building a wall like this----"

" Yeah,"

" but, you know, the effect is really neat."

" Oh, I think it looks great."

" And now, we've got 1, 2, 3 square windows."

" Yeah."

" This is the north-facing wall. We didn't wanna have any big windows and you say, we're just gonna cut it open, huh?"

" Yeah, I'm just gonna get a pilot hole started here, so I can----"

" Oh, there you go."

" Okay."

" Put the blade in right in the corner?"

" Yeah."

" There you go and now, another one at the top."

" Yeah."

" We get all 4 corners."

" Okay, now you're ready for this one, reciprocating saw."

" Yeah."

" Okay, Riley that should be it. Now, you set the blades for just a half an inch."

" Right. A little thick to get into that new installation just a bit."

" Okay, but the plywood is just 1/2-inch thick."

" That's right."
