SIP Home Construction - Series 4

This series of pictures shows the walls being set into place.
Special attention to fitting the panels together side-by-side sometimes requires adjustments.

	Each SIP Home is engineered and the SIP Panels are delivered pre-cut to size ready for installation. The concrete foundation was equipped with hold down bolts used to fasten a 2 x 6 plate on top of the slab which served as the bottom anchor then 6 x 6 posts (shown above) were installed between the panels which will be used for a splice and structural support for the upper floor.
	Once the exterior walls are in place the remaining interior walls are constructed to complete each area.	A special heating tool is used to make a channel to accommodate a 6 x 6 post.
