Ken and I have been busy.

Here's a summary of the exterior building envelope:
Tyvek home wrap, followed by 3" expanded polystyrene foam with double 2x4 bands for nailers for the siding, followed by Wrap Shield membrane for airtightness and bulk water barrier.

So, Ken and I set up my new aluminum pump jack system today.  It went up pretty easily.  Now he and I can finish the exterior.
