SIP Wall Mockup

Finally, I acquired a hot knife, and construction has resumed.

Here is the tool:








And here is the wall mockup I made with it:









This is an illustration of the corner where the walls & floor meet. Of particular interest is the box post at the corner, built from 2x material, and filled with expanding foam to reduce thermal bridging. Also shown is a surface spline joint, the method of joining two panels with OSB splines.






Here is a drawing showing the corner box post.

  1. Looking good Mark! You have done such a good job making the insulation continuous it is difficult to see the different materials within the system. Could you differentiate the materials and point them out so that the public can tell the difference? Even a nice heavy pencil line may do the trick.
