A Productive Weekend

Nice weather and the fact that I think we are finally getting a rhythm down made for what we thought was a very productive weekend.

We worked on the corner SIP's for the great room and dining room right away Saturday morning. This required us first to put down a sill plate for the north wall of the great room. Again, as on all of the inside corners, we needed to back cut a panel forming a pocket so the adjoining SIP could fit into it. I must say, we have been having good luck on our corners coming out nice and tight, with very little if any messing around with fitting the SIP into place.





Our countdown continues with 15 wall SIP's left. We are down to one panel on the north side of the great room wall. The open part of the great room which you can see in the picture will be stick framed due to all of the windows that will be installed on this wall.

I also included some early morning pictures. Although it is getting lighter a little bit earlier we generally are started long before the sun is up on the weekends.

Although our stacks of wall SIP's are dwindling, this photo shows just some of what awaits us as far as roof SIP's.

In my last post I mentioned that I had been training to repel down into the Grand Canyon. I managed to get some of the photos of us training about a week and a half ago. Although it is far from repelling off a canyon wall it gives us a chance to check our rigging, technique, and equipment.
