Did your clapboards blow off?

My metal storage shed blew over into the woods like a tin can. Whatever I can salvage from it is going to be my new ice fishing shack.

That is a gentrified neighborhood right there Bub, using typar...real Mainers use good ol' 15 lb tarpaper.

I made a makeshift shed wrapped in a tarp for winter. That shit flapped like a bird but it stayed put.

That's one of the more "Mainer" things I've read in a long time. I'm adding "bub" at the end of each sentence in my mind and "ayuh" to start, though. Feels more at home that way.

Just going to throw this here:

If you have an old house with barn board sheathing you might want to consider using tarpaper over typar. I read an article about it recently in Fine Homebuilding, it boils down to vapor permeability. You basically don’t want to trap moisture in the sheathing. If it’s plywood you need to use typar

I see too much siding here. Needs to be all typar for the next 10 years

haha That's more like it bub! In my low 20's, landscaping with my friends, we started laying on the Mainer accent hard. We thought it was funny, especially after a quick chat with Famah John where we dumped all of our shit. 13 years later I'm still doing the same work, self employed now, but I'm now stuck with the Mainer talk and it's ridiculous if I don't focus.
