We have been talking about these SIP panels for an eternity. Although we don't need them until next year, probably not until late spring, we needed to go ahead and order the panels so that we could keep the quoted price. And so, a massive truck found its way to our street. We rounded up five adults and one strong teen to try to move the panels off of the truck in one hour. We went over by a little, but I was still impressed that we were able to move them as quickly as we did. They will be stored out in the back, covered with tarps, and will be ready for action once the timber frame is erected. This is the biggest purchase made towards the new house... and it felt really bizarre to see them show up. For me, it marks a shift from all of the tree cutting, beam milling, notching, and jointing. These are new... and they are helping me get a better grasp of how this is going to go down.
