Dec 4, 2009: SIP Wall Pictures
With the wind yesterday the crew worked inside on another project.
Today was less windy, but COLD! The remaining wall panels have been installed and the final preparation has begun for the roof panels.
Garage door header and roof panel support beam across garage.
Completed wall panels from East.
Looking through front door entrance. The solar system can be seen through the picture window in living room, which is aligned with the front door.
There are three picture windows on the North living/dining room wall.
The house/car power generator. Once the roof is completed and the windows and doors installed, we should be able to put in the house breaker panel and connect the solar system. Perhaps next week?
The thick walls of the SIPs give nice deep window wells.
The 2 x 12 boards in the windows will go into the top of the wall panels. Long screws will go through the roof panels and into these boards to secure the roof to the walls.
The crew plans to work tomorrow to finish the preparation for the roof panels. We are planning to rent a crane, which should make hoisting the roof panels easier. Monday or Tuesday all of the SIPs should be installed.
