Just saw this thread. As a contractor I try and do nothing 2wice. I think you did the right thing by going ahead with the 2nd floor framing and roof. You will now not be duplicating any labor which in the long run cost you less.

The Tyvek could last a year. The felt on the roof, well secured could last 6 months. It will have to be gone over when you get to the roof if that time spell has occurred. The Tyvek will be questionable.

Put in an alarm connected to the Net as well as an external web cam surveying access points. You can also put in a Ring doorbell/camera/speaker and 'answer' the door. This can all be powered by a battery backed up with a small solar panel, a good downstream investment.

Another idea: don't want your windows stolen like the post above? Don't use screws and nail the shict out of them with longer roofing nails. Put some jamb screws in as well. Use square drive everywhere. Google NRP hinges.
