We are Closing In !!

We're on the final wall SIP's!

Another good weekend weather wise, and again a lot was accomplish-ed. This, after a week that brought a six inch snow fall to the area, however not much of that even remains.

We finally got the kitchen corner closed up this weekend. We had to do a little bit of shimming on the SIP's at the corner. This went extremely well but was time consuming; along with the usual lengthy prep on the SIP's (cutting around the floor joist beams and dropping them in from the top.)

Approximately five more wall SIP's remain. As I mentioned earlier, the opening for the front entrance and the upstairs balcony will have some stick framing in conjunction with the SIP's.

Next weekend our hopes are to finish the wall SIP's as well as confirm window sizes for the east side of the great room so that stick framing for this wall can begin.

We also hope to get under way with some of the roofing components. Our current plan is to start installing the roof on the bump out on the west side of the house. This was the area that had the custom cut SIP's.

Here are a few more photos from this past weekend.
