Construction is moving right along on the new addition. Ben was able to get extra help this week to work on the trusses, and particle board covering the walls and roof. The angle of the roof where it attaches to the existing garage will prevent water run-off from dumping down on the sidewalk. 
The construction experts answered my question about why they cover the windows and doors with the particle board instead of cutting it around the framed openings. This is done so that there are as few seams as possible in the walls and to reduce waste. If an error was made while cutting the particle board to frame the windows it could not be used. They have a special saw that allows them to cut out the particle board around the frame for the windows and door.
This is the last wall that requires framing. Roofing material will be delivered on Tuesday of next week. When the siding is complete and the roofing material installed the electrician will begin his job.
