We have begun the cladding installation work. The entire house is being wrapped in 2" rigid foam (mostly Dow Scoreboard) and then furred out with treated wood. This creates a back ventilated rain-screen facade. For the ventilation at the top and bottom of the wall, we are using Cor-A-Vent SV-5 vent strips. The furring is being attached with FastenMaster HeadLok screws.

Here are some more shots of the Enduramax masonry veneer system being installed. The interlocking foam panels go up, and then the stainless steel clips are installed. The clips serve two purposes: one is to hold the foam on the wall, and the other is to anchor the veneer to the wall. What is hare to see is the "fingers" on the clips that will be embedded into the wall mortar, providing for the anchorage.
