📐 3D Roofing, Overhang & Stepped Installation Cutaway (Technical Measurements)

Axonometric installation cutaway detailing the 13× 2×6 rafters @ 16" O.C., 18" side overhangs with 2×4 ladder lookouts, 20" front cantilever overhang, 4-sided crisp white fascia box, 5/8" CDX plywood deck, galvanized drip edge flashing (eave vs. rake rule), synthetic felt underlayment, and dimensional composition shingles.

📋 Step-by-Step Roofing Installation Sequence & Flashing Guide

• Step 1 (Framing & Ties): Install 13× 2×6 rafters @ 16" O.C. with birdsmouth cuts seated on front high plate (123.75" AFF) and rear low plate (105.75" AFF). Fasten each rafter with Simpson Strong-Tie H2.5A hurricane ties (565 lbs uplift resistance).
• Step 2 (Outriggers & Fascia Box): Frame 18-inch left and right side overhangs using 8× 2×4 ladder lookouts notched across rake cap plates and nailed to 2×6 fly rafters. Mount continuous 7.25" crisp white fascia boards around all 4 sides.
• Step 3 (Roof Sheeting): Fasten 5/8" CDX exterior plywood panels across rafters with 8d ring-shank nails spaced 6" along panel edges and 12" in the field. Maintain a 1/8" expansion gap between sheets.
• Step 4 (Eave Drip Edge): Install galvanized metal drip edge flashing along the front cantilever eave and rear drip edge DIRECTLY ON TOP OF BARE PLYWOOD before underlayment. Nail every 12" staggered.
• Step 5 (Synthetic Underlayment / Felt): Roll out high-performance synthetic roof underlayment starting from the bottom eave upwards. Overlap eave drip edge, maintain 4" horizontal laps and 6" end laps, fastened with plastic cap roofing nails.
• Step 6 (Rake Drip Edge): Install galvanized metal drip edge flashing along left and right side rake edges OVER THE TOP OF SYNTHETIC FELT to prevent wind-driven rain from penetrating the gable edge.
• Step 7 (Composition Shingles): Install architectural starter strip shingles flush with drip edge hem. Lay dimensional composition asphalt shingles with a standard 5-5/8" exposure using 6 nails per shingle for a 110 MPH high-wind warranty.

📐 3D Board & Batten Wall Siding, Horizontal Blocking & Fastening Cutaway (Technical Measurements)

Axonometric stepped installation cutaway detailing the 2×4 wall framing @ 16" O.C., flush 2×4 horizontal nailer blocking (girts) @ 24", 48", 72" AFF, 1/2" CDX exterior plywood sheathing, commercial WRB housewrap with taped seams, 1×6 base skirt board with 26-ga galvanized metal Z-flashing, vertical 1×10 redwood siding boards with 1/2" expansion gaps, 1×3 battens, and the anti-splitting center fastening rule.

📋 Critical Fastening Golden Rules & Siding Installation Sequence

• The Anti-Splitting Batten Rule: Fasten 1×3 battens with a SINGLE 10d (3") hot-dipped galvanized ring-shank nail driven DEAD CENTER through the 1/2" gap between boards directly into the horizontal blocking girt. NEVER nail through both the batten and the underlying siding board! Pinning boards together restrains lateral expansion/contraction, causing severe splitting and cracking during California summer/winter cycles.
• Horizontal Nailer Blocking Girts (24" O.C.): Vertical siding requires solid horizontal timber backing. Install flush 2×4 blocking strips between each pair of wall studs at 24", 48", and 72" Above Finished Floor (AFF). Fastened with 2× 16d nails toenail or end-nail through studs. Provides continuous timber purchase across the entire wall.
• Board Fastening Pattern: Fasten 1×10 siding boards (3/4" × 9-1/4") using 2× 8d (2-1/2") HDG ring-shank siding nails per board at each horizontal blocking tier (every 24" vertically). Place nails 2" inward from each board edge, leaving the center unpinned to allow natural expansion.
• Capillary Break Clearance: Hold the bottom end-grain of all vertical boards and battens minimum 1/2" above the horizontal ledge of the galvanized Z-flashing. Never allow wood siding to sit directly in standing water on flashing ledges.
• Weather-Resistive Envelope: 1/2" CDX plywood sheathing (8d nails @ 6" edge / 12" field) covered by commercial breathable housewrap. Horizontal laps min. 6" shingle-fashion, vertical laps 12", and all seams sealed with 2-1/2" acrylic flashing tape. WRB lower edge laps over the 2" vertical leg of the Z-flashing.

📋 Insulation Types, Fastening Patterns & Drywall Installation Sequence

• Wall Insulation Specification: Install R-13 (or R-15 high-density) Kraft-faced fiberglass or mineral wool batts (3-1/2" thick × 15" wide) snugly into all 16" On-Center stud cavities (14-1/2" clear cavity). Friction-fit with zero voids or compression.
• Vapor Retarder Code Requirement (CRC Section R302): The brown Kraft paper vapor retarder MUST face the warm interior living space in California climate zones. Staple the flange ears to the stud faces (or inset-staple to stud sides) every 8" to 12" using heavy-duty T50 staples.
• Ceiling Insulation Specification: Install R-19 (or R-21 high-density) Kraft-faced batts (5-1/2" to 6-1/4" thick × 15" wide) into the 2×6 roof rafter bays. Kraft paper vapor retarder faces DOWNWARD toward the room interior.
• Ceiling Drywall Installation: Always hang ceiling drywall BEFORE wall drywall. Use 1/2" Sag-Resistant Gypsum Ceiling Board or 5/8" Type X Drywall installed perpendicular to rafters. Fasten with 1-1/4" Type W coarse-thread drywall screws spaced 12" On-Center.
• Wall Drywall (Sheetrock) Installation: Hang 1/2" regular gypsum panels horizontally across studs. Stagger vertical butt joints by minimum 16" between rows. Fasten with 1-1/4" Type W screws spaced 12" On-Center in the field and 8" On-Center along panel edges. Drive screw heads to a uniform shallow dimple without tearing the face paper.
• 3-Coat Joint Finishing System (Level 4 Finish):
  • Coat 1 (Bed Coat): Embed 2" paper joint tape into all-purpose joint compound over recessed tapered joints; wipe smooth.
  • Coat 2 (Fill Coat): Apply topping compound feathered 2" to 3" beyond the tape edges.
  • Coat 3 (Finish Coat): Apply lightweight finish mud feathered out 10" to 12" wide. Spot-fill all screw dimples with 3 coats. Lightly sand with 150-grit drywall sanding screen.
• Interior Priming & Paint: Apply 1 full coat of high-build PVA drywall primer/sealer to equalize porosity between paper and joint compound. Finish with 2 coats of washable interior acrylic eggshell paint (Low-VOC).
