In addition to the plaster, a few other projects have to be completed to fill gaps in the walls. One window still needs to be framed and installed in the top of the southeast wall, and a front door needs to be installed. The sections left open for bottle walls need to be completed or filled with light straw clay. A bump-out needs to be constructed or something needs to be installed to cover the whole hole to it to leave it as a deck, and the section above the bump-out, between the northeast Wall and the roof, needs to be covered with boards. To complete the roof, a hole needs to be cut for a chimney pipe from the woodstove. It would also be good to add some kind of waterproofing or filler between the ridge cap and the roofing to prevent water from being blown upward and leaking through the and ridgeline of the roof. For the stability of the building, 2x6s need to be added to the outside of the floor joist triangles. Flashing Finally, flashing should be added over the outside of the rim boards to the bottom of the walls.
