I’ve enjoyed reading your article, but I have to say that while your tenacity is impressive, your choice of materials and methods isn’t. I’m a 30+ year construction professional, so I do have an advantage. My recommendation for folks in your shoes is to tap into someone experienced in the industry before moving forward.
Again, I’m extremely impressed with your tenacity and congratulate you on your success.
A tip I’ve picked up is to hammer in nails most of the way, and then use a [nail-setting] punch to finish them in. If done correctly, you won’t get the puckering from the face of the hammer.
Many thanks for your comments! Nathan, I’d be very interested in your suggestions re: materials. I am still no expert, and am always looking to learn.
Insulation — I think mineral wool is always the way to go. Not standard in much of the US (it is in Canada), but it doesn’t sag, it doesn’t burn, and it doesn’t grow mold.
*And windows — get hurricane spec windows for at least your ground floor to help protect against breakins.
