Tonight Mark and his team hurried to finish at least most of the roof sheeting before the weekend, when snow is forecast. At least when the next storm hits I’ll have much less to shovel!

They are using this neat stuff called Zip System, which is a special OSB board that is then just taped at the seams and is immediately waterproof. You’d think the tape would peel up, but apparently it has years of performance testing behind it.

    Did you consider using SIP Roofs?

    Also, the 12″ SIP Walls, was there any hassle in ordering windows and doors? Will you just have a larger inside ledge to these windows?
