Ice & Water Shield for our Subfloor

After the mad dash to get everything ready for the roof measurements and underlay, we've been able to set our sights a bit lower down and now that the side punctures are complete, we can start to work on weatherproofing the exterior walls. The first step in that process has been to lay down a strip of double-wide protecto-wrap (otherwise known as off-brand Grace Ice & Water Shield) along the base of the tiny house. This covers the trailer fascia, the subfloor, and all the joins at the base of the SIPs; and while it may look like a simple job, I spent an entire half day with a rubber hammer and a roller, working the rubberized adhesive into the irregular surface of our Tiny House, making sure that the two really married together. By lunch time, my wrists and hands were aching- but I managed to talk Sam into giving me a hand massage over lunch, so that was okay. :)
