Build Day 10: We’re going with a closed roof

IMG_1971

As much as I liked the open-roof concept, it wasn’t very practical for this climate. It gets a bit chilly here and it snows half the year (up to 6 cm again tomorrow), so we’ve decided a closed roof is the way to go.

Always happy to oblige our wishes, our incredible crew worked beyond expectations again today, getting five roof panels set (compared to the two that were planned).

If the work continues at this pace, the roof should be done Thursday, leaving Friday for some exterior timber accents.

Isn’t it incredible how this house is coming together?

This is how things looked at day’s end. The roof SIPs are 10 1/4-inch thick and their R-value is 37.9. As much as I don’t understand what I just wrote, I know that means they’re very efficient and they will help keep me warm.
