We've completed the SIP's on the west side of the house and, as of this weekend, we have this portion of the roof over the house dried in with Grace Ice and Water Shield. We have also started work on the east side with quite a bit of the Aspen already put up.
The Grace Ice and Water shield gave us a little difficulty at first but after about the the third strip we got a technique down and things progressed well. That was until Sunday morning while putting more of it up the wind decided to pick up (which is a huge understatement). We managed to get it all up but ended up having to tack down boards to hold it down. The adhesive stuck to itself well but wind would get underneath it and start to pick it up off of the roof.
We had a couple of times when we thought it may all get peeled off of the roof but managed to get it all tacked down before that happened. The thought of that happening was a sick feeling, given the cost of the product.
As I mentioned earlier, work on installing Aspen on the east side of the roof is well under way. We have the entire balcony/ front deck area covered, as well as the dining room small dormer. 
Also, this weekend, we have finished the Aspen on the majority of the north side of the great room. My thoughts now are to get the right half of this side of the roof covered with Aspen and then start installing the SIP's. Although some wiring will have to take place prior to this as well.
