SIPS AHOY!

The Structural Insulated Panels arrived late yesterday afternoon courtesy of: FISCHERSIPS out of Louisville, Kentucky. I want to thank Damian Pataluna of Fischer Sips for expediting the process.  The Framers will now spend the next several day's erecting the Sip walls, framing the first floor, setting the second floor-floor system, framing the second floor and setting the roof trusses.  This is an exciting time for VISION House. This is where things really start to take shape.  Now let's get you caught up on the last two weeks.  While waiting the arrival of the SIPS, we've been busy prepping the foundation.  We installed DELTA DRY MS to the foundation for our waterproofing. In addition, we installed the drain system at the base of the foundation using recycled crushed concrete stone for our aggregate. We then carefully backfilled the walk out basement walls, which brings us right up to date with the project.

I'll talk next time about the Institute for Business & Home Safety.
