Hi, I was wondering how long different construction stages can last without completion in a new build (approximately). That is, to get an indication of how much time you have to complete certain stages.
1. Exterior drywall GNU, before the panel must be on?
2. Panel primed?
3. Panel painted a second time?
4. Roof, without having laid the roof tiles, i.e., roofing felt is in place
It would be great to get some timelines on this.

You might need to explain a bit about how you plan to store the different parts.
Painted paneling stored under a tarp will last quite a while. The same goes for a felt roof covered with a tarp. As for the gypsum, it depends on the weather... if it rains every day, the time is very short, and if it's sunny and beautiful weather, the time is significantly longer... So your questions are hard to answer without being able to predict the weather... you also don't mention which season you plan to have the items outside...
Cover everything you can with tarps to make it last longer...

I was mostly thinking spring/summer/fall months. Then I also understand that if there is extreme weather, the time decreases. But if it were normal weather conditions for these months and the paper is on the roof, the gypsum is on the wall, and also the panel (if you put it over the gypsum). What I'm looking for is, are we talking weeks or months?D droopy said:
The supplier naturally says one thing, but that's usually under perfect conditions. But what does reality say?
I would probably cover the roof with a tarp if it's going to stand with just roofing felt for more than a few days. If rain is expected, I would cover it as soon as possible. The reason is that even a minor water damage that seeps into the house often costs more in both money and work to repair. Rolling out a tarp takes no time and provides good protection if laid out properly and secured.
Unpainted panel should probably be stored under weather protection. If you paint it, it can dry properly and then be stacked and covered. Moist wood swells, and if nailed up and left to dry on the wall, there is a risk of it becoming "striped" with gaps once dried. On construction sites, one usually works on covering most things, such as before a long weekend; sensitive materials are regularly covered at the end of the workday.
Unpainted wood becomes "gray" quite quickly, and it's not advisable to paint on grayed wood as the paint will peel off faster. Laths that have turned gray can still be used for tiling, as the wood is likely to last many years despite "graying."
When I redid my roof (metal on wooden lath), I had two large rented tarps on either side of the ridge. These were rolled down in the evening and weighted at the bottom. In the morning, we rolled them up again and continued. It's not a good idea to tear off a roof and then wait months before replacing it to a sealed roof. The entire reroofing should be done as quickly as possible. It's usually completed in a week or a maximum of two if it's a normal residential roof without too many embellishments and recesses.

That's what I've read too. 3 months some and 2 others according to manufacturers. But that's probably under "good" conditions. That's why I'm interested in the reality.M MagHam said:Underlay paper should be able to last a couple of months according to the manufacturers. If it is done correctly, it should be completely waterproof. But you never know, unless you've laid it yourself
