Its t 1-11 its a thick plywood type material called siding. It comes that way, we attached it to the skeleton of the house

Good to know, thanks

still need to finish trim, roof and nest box lid but wanted to at least get started weather proofing. We used kilz barn/livestock safe paint

 

[daviechik]

were anticipating some really awful weather here tonight (hail, tornados, torrential downpours, flash flooding-not our area, etc) so we threw some paint on (clearly not perfect and needs to be finished properly) to protect as much of the house as we could, the wet areas are apparent in the pics. The paint should be dry before the rains start. More than half the shingles are done and tar paper is on as well. Very happy overall, house should be done this weekend for sure. The oldest of the flock are 3wks and 4dys old the youngest are a week old.

I'd throw the tarp back up if you can secure against the wind.

 

[daviechik]

We considered it, however since we cant adequately secure it opted not to since we didnt want to deliberately trap moisture against the roof. On the plus side however we did it properly (roof tacks, roof nails, etc) sooo it should be good... hopefully
