Day Five and Six | Furring and Critter Mesh


Our group has finally reached completion of furring in the matron's suite. I also assisted with furring in the kitchen, which I considered far more enjoyable. While the higher ceilings were intimidating, using a full length of a furring strip is much less complicated than cutting and mounting small lengths. In tandem with furring, I was assigned the daunting task of climbing the rafters to install critter mesh. One layer of stiff, large mesh is layered with thin, small mesh and stapled over openings where the roof meets the rafters. This prevents unwanted tenants, such as squirrels and birds. We also spent time framing windows in the Matron's suite; we hope to begin window installation in the next couple of weeks.
