Thank you very much!

I was watching the previous episode when this upload showed up in my notifications! 🤘

We want a gap so we can visually inspect it and fell it. Loved it!!!🤣🤣🤣

i did it the easy way....spec'ed the ridge beam for the span and hung 8 inch sips with triple 2x8 's in the panel edge ....easy and fast.....only tricky part was tilting the panel so the edge would glove together along the edge joint ...after two courses the crane driver had it down pat we did 54 ft long roof with two 8 ft dormers ( built on the ground with pre-cut sips, and flown with crane) in a day.....lots of sweat in March in Georgia....hasn't leaked a drop in 26 years so we did something right

Loving these videos! They really help us to see how you all put a true timber frame house together as well as explaining how you do things the way you do. Learning a lot watching them. Thank you for sharing what you do.

Nice work Shelter Team. Great information.

How do you vent the roof. I live in N.E Washington state and on a cathedral ceiling without trusses and attic space code says we have leave a 2 inch air gap between roof sheeting and insulation. Air flows through a bug screen vent in the soffits up to a vented ridgecap. There is a 2 inch space left between sheeting and ridge beam. Venting the roof helps cool it in the summer and also keeps dry rot from occurring. I didn't see if you had an air gap between the pine ceiling and the sip roof panels. Is there no roof venting code back east like there is out here?One rule we have out west here is no osb on the roof for sheeting. Its absolute junk, once it gets moisture it swells and rots. Also we put a lot of metal roofs on and osb doesn't hold screws nearly as well as 5/8 inch plywood. Take a sheet of plywood and osb and throw them out on the ground all winter. The osb will be twice as thick and falling apart and the plywood will dry out and be fine. Why don't you put a superior product on the roof? Do your suppliers give you a choice on the sip panel sheeting??It's only $5 to $10 more per sheet. I know that that adds up but you built a timber frame that will last hundreds of years. Why compromise the structure with woodchips n glue a few thousand $$ in good plywood only makes sense to me. Not trying to be a troll. You have very informative videos. Just hate osb especially on a timber frame.

The roof underlayment will protect the OSB, with this slope this roof is good for 50 years.

The roof panels may be, but the fasteners are Not guarenteed that long. Typically 10 years before their warranty runs out. Save yourself the trouble and get snap lock standing seam. Dramatically better product and looks much better too

Beautiful music!

Great video, and I like the leaving in the blooper stuff. That's good - keeps it light. I am interested in timber framing an unheated building so I think that means I will not be getting involved with SIPs yet, right? Anyway, great stuff and good teaching. I'm telling my friends!

shouldnt you lay water rolls not vertically but horizontally from bottom to top, then attach 1x1 wood vertically to form air gap, and then 1x1 horizontal wood for metal sheets to attach to.

I am not a builder, but instead of knocking the excess foam off, what are your thoughts about putting tape on the hole you are filling so the foam expands more inward than outward?

How do you address the vapor being trapped at the roof peak described by joe lstiburek, especially in SIPs panels

What is the reasoning behind running your panels in the same direction as the trusses? Also why was there no barrier be tween the roof boards and the Roof SIPs, if moisture is to get through those roof boards it will rot the roof panel.

@ShelterInstitute

Great question Keegan! The entire roof assembly is air sealed with expanding foam, which prevents air and moisture migration into the roof assembly. We prefer to run the panels vertically because it is then a monolithic block of foam and OSB that runs top to bottom, again minimizing air/moisture migration.

I was impressed with the Gypsum first before exterior walls(Sips). Was the use of Sips cost effective?

Love your guys work. But a hint of constructive criticism: If you have crew on a roof, pls have them harnessed and roped off. Safety only takes 10 mins.

Why use an exposed fastener roof vs standing seam especially over SIPs ?

The problem with foam is that over a few years it will "dry out", lose it's adhesion, and usually shrink and then becomes useless as an insulator.

I was a spray foam contractor, and can tell you that it all depends upon the type of product you’re using. Some will do like you said, but others such as a properly proportioned and properly applied closed cell polyurethane will not loose adhesion or break down. The key is that it MUST be done correctly.

Closed cell on house I grew up in done in 70's was reexposed in 2011. Not even a hint of shrinkage. It is nearly impossible to remove old roof sheathing. Closed cell in walls and ceiling.

How would you add a fire rating to your roof when you have beams and T&G? Where does the gypsum get attached? Thanks!

I don’t understand how the electrical is installed, after the drywall is installed??

So a quick question how does condensation affect the roof ? SiPs

@curtiswilliams7638

2 жыл бұрын

There's so many factors, basically it depends what's underneath the sheeting. If you have lots of ventilation from the outdoors going into your attic space, think about that the attic is should be the same temperature as it is outdoors. If you have insulation and it's not enough, you get heat loss in your attic that's when you see moisture in your attic, this product can work but there's a magic formula between temperature, ventilation, and the right installation. I can see it being an awesome product, but it's easy to get it wrong

"Nope" 🤣🤣🤣

You build this tremendously expensive building on a tremendously expensive piece of land using super nice tech like T&G pine panels on the roof then you place a metal roof on the structure ; which is extremely fitting for the building however; in order to prevent leaking and future problems it’s all dependent on a “Rubber Washer” that seats the screws (hundreds of them if not thousands) on the roof??? And you can be assured unless each person installing the screws has someone coming right behind them checking each screw , some were placed on incorrectly? Being a contractor that specializes in finish work I exclude what I believe are bad choices for the customer that leads to failures ? For me it’s MDF? Thee only place I will install it is in cabinet door panels ? Not in interior or exterior “doors”. Your customer should hv those washers checked and replaced at least 15-20 yrs. and inspected in a atmosphere like that every 3-5 yrs. I know you would not choose it ? As I would not Choose MDF therefore it’s out of the line-up for me? I am curious why you allowed it to be used after all you did? I could be all wet too ?

Why 4 foot wide roof SIPs and not 8 foot wide roof SIPs? Fewer seams.

@ShelterInstitute

2 жыл бұрын

Panel manufacturers are tooled up for ether 4' or 8' wide panels, rarely both. Our manufacturer makes 4' panels. We have worked with 8' panels from other manufacturers in the past-they are great, but a little harder on the crew.

One thing about a energy efficient houses I don't get it though: all that energy we save by making the house airtight, we loose it by using air con, humidifiers or deshumidifiers to make the air breathable and comfortable. How do these houses breathe? I remember my grand parents houses (back in the 60's and 70's) where the walls were made out of clay mixed with horse dung and straws, and coated with limewash. Allways cool in summer, warm in winter and never, ever a fly inside. Plus never too humid, nor too dry. The walls needed to be maintained every 6-7 years though. So, in our search for the perfection, aren't we getting quite the opposite result?

In the UK atleast, the energy saved from reduced heating is far in excess of the additional energy used to run the ventilation system

@ShelterInstitute

2 жыл бұрын

On average, homes lose or gain about 40% of their heat through air infiltration. Year after year, this far outweighs the energy used for a properly designed ventilation or a/c system, and the house is far healthier and more comfortable. We recommend the use of heat recovery ventilators or energy recovery ventilators for fresh air; as the names imply, at least a portion of the heat (HRV) is transferred to the incoming air stream through a heat transfer mechanism and a portion of the sensible cooling load (ERV) is transferred through a mixing of the air streams that allows moisture from the incoming air to be transferred to the already dehumidified outgoing air. Both of these systems are a great way to further improve on energy efficiency while providing required ventilation.

He blame the factory made panels but he house was most likely not square. You need an high-temperature roof underlayment, screws are supposed to be between the ribs (EPDM washer screws must seat on a flat surface). Metal roofs are good for 50 years so no biggies.
