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!

@nielsdebakker3283 5 лет назад

As in cladding the outside to protect the sips?

@dustyboard2247 5 лет назад

Less Talk ,More Work. Install your siding package asap. The sips are degrading every day. They need to be covered with a wrb and rain-screen and siding in that order. If you choose to postpone this any longer you sips will fail structuraly. and all will be lost. Long time subscriber, who happens to be a builder.

@kadmow 5 лет назад

Jesse forgets that with SIPS, If there is a (thermally conductive) fixing penetrating the sip from outer to inner skin (long screws) these do become thermal bridges. Of course it is a lower percentage of the total wall area than the studs, in a conventional wall. Generally fixings are usually steel, which has and R value of 0.0031 per inch (very low insulation, ie very high conduction)... Thermally "breaking" the cladding and frame/wall construction (no single fixing penetrates all the way through the wall from cladding to inner lining) can reduce the conduction of direct solar thermal radiation (or ambient convection) in summer time. For winter heat losses, adding additional bulk insulation (with adhesive not steel screws) on the inner wall lining to limit losses into the wall and cladding system will result in a very efficient structure. Other configurations of stud frames - ie, staggered studs, double wall, or insulated studs / I-beam studs, can provide overall high insulative values without "needing" to use sips.

See if any of the local HVAC people are familiar with geothermal heating and cooling. Using radiant floor heating (or cooling) like you are, you're already partially set up for it. I remember that you hit water a LOT shallower than you expected for your well, that same aquifer could be used for geothermal heating and cooling, not that you need a lot of cooling obviously!

Not worth it....timber frame is beautiful and the cold roof is an excellent idea. But those sips have made the construction of your home way more difficult than it had to be.

@ModernMountainLiving 5 лет назад

The cold roof isn't necessary on a performing SIPs roof in Cold Climates, and the Sips should have bearing on the deck but they built the timber frame to the edge as a mistake. I don't build SIPs like this and don't have these issues.

No, SIPs are not worth it. The material and installation cost and ongoing construction impositions offset slight benefits. Of course if cost is not an issue, go for it. I've designed and built SIP and ICF buildings and I have no horse in this race. Spray foam and rigid insulation on the outside of a framed wall can stop infiltration and improve insulation.

@reicherttjr 5 лет назад

It appeared to me that you installed just about as many studs connecting the ships together in some areas as a normal stick built house. I don't know why people get hung up on wall construction. Most of the heat loss in residential homes is through the doors and windows.

If you look at EICC 2018 Energy Codes you will see why the Roof R Values are much higher than walls, simply put heat rises. Yes doors and windows are your weakest link only after airtightness.

@gjc9801 5 лет назад

kind of on the same thoughts as Duane Miller below, I am retired from the GC business after 36 yrs and about 14 yrs ago I helped a friend build a sip house and we found it much better to simply fur out all the sips on the main floor and run all the wireing in that cahnael between the drywall and the surface of the sips we had done the main building almost identical to yours, leaving the space between the face of the sip and the post frame actualy worked out as when we did his we put some 1/2 plywood blocks in to represent where the drywall would have been and tightend the building up and foamed everything then fured all the walls of the main floor between the posts and drywalled on top of them, this left us with all those furred cavities to chase wires and water lines he was a techy type and he had about eight million wires so it worked out really nice finishing the drywall looked like it would be tough but we put strips of mylar or acitate up over the posts were there would be drywall finishing done as to prevent drywall compound all in the grain and used Jbead on all edges of the drywall and it turned out beautiful.

@WreckDiver99 5 лет назад

Here is something you have never brought up...what are you doing for air exchange? ALL SIP homes require "makeup air" to be brought in. Matter of fact, all modern built homes require it. Because of how "tight" homes are built now your furnace requires "makeup air" to be brought in. I don't think you have ever gotten into that discussion. Also, I get it...most do...but you are now in the land of diminishing returns. Similar to putting R60 insulation in a ceiling vs. just R40. The cost is BIG to go between R40 to R60, so big matter of fact, that it would take me about 25 years to hit break even on the cost hit. I was better off putting in a super high efficient furnace, water heater, and A/C unit. I saved more money on heating/cooling in 2 years to recoup the costs. I base this off of the house 3 doors down from me that didn't do this and is the exact same design, and we kept notes between us on temps we kept our homes at. The owner of that other home was pretty angry that he decided to "save" money by not doing what we did with the HVAC system.

From an anesthetics perspective, I love the brown color of the garage, and how it compliments the natural wood color of the house. The engineer and perfectionist in me would want to have the garage doors in white, or chrome (as horrible as it would look) to better reflect the heat. Something I've been thinking about for a long time is ceramic coated window tint. I've got it on my car windows, and it cuts 99% of the heat and UV-A & UV-B, and I love it! However, A: it isn't cheap B: While it would be great in the summer, in the winter, it would rob you of heating your home naturally with the sun.

With SIPs you have less thermal breaks, Makes me wonder, if I built a stick frame with 2 by 8s as studs, put the same kind of foam between them, and then used 1 inch foam panels under the siding, would I be able to produce the same result? What frustrates me is there are no apples to apples comparisons between these different types of construction. I really appreciate you for all the information in this video!

@saticharlie 5 лет назад

the more the space on the top- plate, then you need a header... of course a 2x8 can support more weight so spacing could be 36'' but then you need header so don't botter... I build my own cabin with 1.5 wooddfiber panel (eco4 by sonoclimat) + 2.25" foam (open cell). The total R value is R 13... but because it's on the outside (the foam comes with 1 layer of tivek), there's no thermal bridge... with still no insulation inside. If i was to do it again, i would put a 3.5 foam (even 4") and no 1.5 woodfiber panel, cause i made the work twice... so it's sheaper than sip's.... I have 2x4 cavities, so with rockwool i would have R24 with no thermal bridging... So my message. not with a 2X8. + 1 inch of foam, but... 2x6+ 2.5" foam, would beater. The R would be the same in math but the more «outsulation», the better. it's how they se it in Alaska

Note that it's impossible to measure temperature with infrared cameras on glass.

Raise Lower the heat source is inside the house if measuring in the autumn or winter. The transmission of the glass beats reflection especially for thermal frequency/wavelength ranges.

SIPS = Structural Insulated Panels. Death to acronyms!

@jprestonpotter 5 лет назад

Local design-builder in Ohio, zone 5-6. While I personally enjoy researching efficient homes, a few BIG driving factors for me as an employee of the said builder; will the client pay the extra cost? (not typically) Do local codes require it or anything close? (no) I like SIPs, they just are not standard here, mostly because you still need a frame to put it on; extra cost and lead time. ZIP panels are by far the popular choice around here when code requires a continuous air barrier. Much like anything else, it takes a village to make change, if the change is needed.

Yes you still need a frame. Great for timber frame that's it.

When is clean up globs of foam from timber rafters season?

@NoBSMusicReviews 3 года назад

Steel-clad SIPS with offset steel also stop thermal bridging, but they ARE the envelope - just seal the joints between them. No need for siding if you don't want it - but I wouldn't want to do that with OSB. And, yes, OSB is nasty stuff - offgassing etc.. I'd rather spend more for steel clad.

Do profession SIP builders pull the wiring in the exterior walls as the build goes up?

@ModernMountainLiving 5 лет назад

As a SIPs Builder some of the manufacturers suggest that, most times I do not, or I leave a pull string.

@mitchellmanor1970 5 лет назад

@@mitchellmanor1970 there is no string left in the wall one you pull it out with the romex tied to the end of the string.

@@ModernMountainLiving we put the romex in the wall panels before they were installed - but that needed quite a bit of pre-planning

@mitchellmanor1970 5 лет назад

@@gilunionhall In some circumstances, planing for future electrical, you can pull the romex and an additional pull string, ie a future home run to the breaker box where you needed an outlet on a separate breaker.

Where did you source your sips? Is that something you're willing to share?

This is just an engineered (bit more expensive) version of post frame building with intra-post space filled with EPS. 300mm (12in) of EPS gives you U = 0.132! This would allow you to build a passive house in pretty much any climate from Alaska to Patagonia! If you bothered yourself to use off-setted post frame with almost ZERO thermal bridging losses... you can very easily and cheaply create an extremely thermally efficient building,

What are the cons of off post setting? Structural integrity no?

@ryteulopki8069 Год назад

@@getstuk87 Oh sorry I think I got your question. Off setting post eliminates thermal bridging. You are ending up with internal posts and external posts, each holding inner of outer wall but being separated by continuous layer of insulation. This, depending on house layout/design, may also allow you to use smaller posts. But main application is exclusion of thermal bridging ;)

"the outside panels are eight and quarter inches"? what is the thickness please? I think screws are tight to bottom side of OSB, will the EPS+upper OSB be shifted? thanks
