Oct 8: Raising the Walls, Day 2


The Entrance Foyer and Morning Room walls are raised and secured in place like pieces of a  great 3-D puzzle, shown above and below in the photos. 

The panels are labelled and identified through a numbering system that appears on a construction map provided to the contractor by the manufacturer.

The SIP wall for the main entrance stands ready for the front door and transom window to be installed, above.  


Long panel screws hold the SIP wall corners together.  Above, Todd is shown screwing a panel screw through a SIP wall along a corner joint.


Todd, along with one assistant, assembled the walls shown in these photos in two days.  He says the SIP wall sections are fitting perfectly to the foundation stem wall sections.  The walls arrive pre-cut to follow the exact angle and length of each section of stem wall, as shown in a photo taken from the top of a wall, above.
