Raising the SIPs, Part 4: The Gable End

We finished raising the SIP walls with the forward gable end. The video below is a time-lapse of the process, which I think demonstrates the time we spend on each part of the process nicely. For each of the walls, the actual raising of the SIP took very little time, followed by an hour or so (two hours in the case of the first wall we raised) of fiddling with it to get the placement just right. The ratchet straps, our 4' level, and several sledge hammers have been key in these adjustments. 


Now that we have all the walls up, the only SIPs we have left are the four roof panels. We're going to wait to get those up until after we have the loft joist installed so that we can have a platform inside the house to stand on as we get the roof panels into place. That'll be our next action step.
