So, things are (finally) in the works: A week ago at the Tumbleweed workshop we put a $500 deposit down on our trailer, and this weekend we sent our drawings to our awesome SIP kit coordinator, Joe Coover. He's an amazing resource for us, as neither Sam nor I are Google Sketchup users, and the next step is to make a 3d model of the SIPs, approve it, and send it off to the SIP manufacturers. All of which is very exciting.
We're going to get quotes for our roofing, windows and siding this week, and hopefully I'll talk to Joe more about potentially coordinating the Tumbleweed Trailer delivery to the SIP manufacturers in Virginia, where we'll be able to have the SIPs loaded onto our trailer and hire a driver from UShip to tow it up to New England. This way we'll save on trailer shipping (it's cheaper to ship to VA than to RI) and on SIP shipping (it's cheaper to hire a tow vehicle than to hire a tow vehicle and trailer).
