Wind-proofing the 4th Wall with Tar Paper
Since we have successfully built the 4th wall structure/framing, rebuilt the roofing system & cleaned up the coop, it is now time to not only celebrate 
, but to wind-proof the 4th wall with tar paper or 'roofing membrane'.
🌬
Let's do this!
In order to get the Tarpaper flush, we removed the gussets with the skillsaw.
Tarpaper is fairly easy to work with and is somewhat light.
It has a sticky back that will adhere it to the pallets when it gets very hot, but for now we stapled it.
The process goes very quickly, the only prep needed is cutting them and removing the plastic coating on the back.
(We cut through it using a Utility Knife)
Here's pictures of the rest of the tarpaper installing:
Much darker in there.

We cut and folded the 3rd tarpaper sheet edge onto the doorframe.
This will also help with rain protection, since tarpaper is a great semi water-repeller.
The wide view: (4th sheet added)
We then added the final sheet and it folded over onto NorthWest wall by a few inches.

On the page, I will show how to take apart pallets without breaking them apart (or as much), to make strapping for under the tin.
