WHO WE ARE
In 2015 we quit our lives in the city to buy bare land in the country and build a timber frame home from scratch with our bare hands, debt-free, with no prior experience. It’s been a wild ride of ups, downs, highs, lows, rain and rainbows, but we haven’t lost sight of our goals and have gotten further in three years than we thought we’d get in ten. Join us as we build our house, develop our rural property, practice traditional skills such as gardening and food preservation and go to even greater heights (literally) of exploring the world through aviation as a new private pilot!

@mikeedwards7724 4 года назад

Going back to when the SIP’s were installed didn’t they decide to not use the manufacturers recommended way of foaming between the panels, ie apply a bead of foam immediately before joining the panels? The manufacturer’s way gives a fully airtight seal as you know you’ve put the foam along the whole joint and therefore sealed it. Sadly it looks like a problem of their own making not a fundamental problem of the SIP system?

From what I have seen on SIPs is that professionals spray the foam just before they put them together and I believe Jess even said that was what he heard but wasn’t sure so they did it this different way leaving them blind when putting in the foam.

@markusgreiner6273 4 года назад

Maybe I'm wrong, but have not you got a FLIR for your i-phone? I think, you should go up, with the man basket in the evening or night, when the sun is set, and look at the roof with the FLIR. It will show you the hotspots.

jeep6242 mostly low expanding foam is for windows and doors to keep it from causing binding if you get too much foam in. Otherwise you will have problems with both your windows and doors till you remove and fix the problem. I learned that the hard way when I accidentally use the wrong foam.

@duanemiller5606 4 года назад

The method they’re using is an old one from long ago known as timber frame structure that they are then putting a very new method onto known as SIPs. The idea is to see the post and beams so then one needs to decide wether to notch the roof beams so the drywall can tuck under or use shims to give you a gap to tuck the drywall in or use some kind of trim after drywalling the celling or the way they did it. Otherwise it would be difficult to have a refined fit and finish. For the side walls they used shims.
