And we have WALLS!

The wall install began, today!!!!!

We chose SIPs panels from a local company for the shell of the house, which are known for superior insulation properties.  This will vastly improve the energy efficiency of the house.

These walls are the center of this whole project.

A foam core is sandwiched between dense plywood and cut like puzzle pieces per plan specs.  Here are our walls at the factory.....


The walls were delivered to the site and then anchored to the foundation.


Almost a quarter of the SIPS walls were installed today.  I think that is pretty amazing!

Install continues this week, and with any luck and decent weather, the shell will be completed by the weekend.  (There is rain in the forecast ... again.)
