Well, things slowed down for a couple of weeks there, while we waited for some feedback from the engineer on a change that would make the plumbing workable. But things seem to be moving again. The site was supposed to be staked today, and they will put the augercasts in starting Monday (if all is going according to plan).
This morning I put a down-payment on the SIPs, so they will begin constructing those at the factory.
The SIPs will make putting the house up rapid, once the augercast pilings have set for a bit. If you visit
Porter's website, you can see how the SIPs come as pre-cut, insulated panels that are put together with a crane or by hand for the smaller ones. Window and door holes are already made, as are chases for the electrical wires. Here's a
video showing a SIP home being put up.
Also looked at the Velux site to check out the skylight shade possibilities ... venetian blinds, honeycomb, or solid shade?
