Buying house with unfinished carport - How much to complete? pics attached
The house didn't originally have a carport and the current owners added the beams/roof/shingles. Then they later added the walls and windows but didn't complete everything. I have absolutely no experience with this kind of stuff and don't even know the proper terminology and materials. I've attached some pictures of the outside, back of it, and inside. You can see it's still got the Tyvek wrap.
1) What is the material under the Tyvek wrap called? Is it plywood?
2) What needs to be done to finish it, just add siding to the outside? if so, what kind? And what about the inside to cover the wood or can those be left exposed? I don't plan on adding electrical outlets or closing off the front.
3) What would be the approx cost to finish this? I wouldn't know how to do it myself so I'll need to pay someone to do it.
4) As money is tight right now, would it be harmful to just leave everything as it is until 2018 or even later to finish? I'm just not sure if the weather (rain, snow, wind, etc) will damage the wood? Aside from having it look awful unfinished and with the white wrapping around it all year round, is there negative effects to leaving it unfinished for now?
