I’m about to start a ranch remodel where the back half of he rectangle will remain untouched, and the front half will be dismantled and then the foot print will be expanded. I’m looking for suggestions/experience for protecting the back of the house which has been partially remodeled. In the front, the footprint will be expanded, the exterior walls removed, and the roof will be changed. Tarps are a given.
Thanks, Joel

Is there a need to keep access from the back through the front?

not really; only on occasion.
I'll try again, 1st time didn't take. Temporary wall, metal studs & osb.

Water will be the primary concern as I'll be removing the entire front half of roof. (From peak to front exterior wall.)
R,
How about a stud wall (or use the common wall there now), stud it up in the attic area. Flash with ice and water or wider vicor wall to deck and wall up over existing roof sheeting (take back a shingle from ridge and go over the next course on what you're leaving). Sheet the wall with osb (screw it so you can use it later).
Install a temp or two 99.00 entry doors (maybe scratch/dent for 50 bucks).
How you keep the water out of the basement/crawl-you can figure out. Maybe rubber roofing.A Great Place for Information, Comraderie, and a Sucker Punch.
