Today we got a partial roof

The guys spent the majority of today putting the SIPs (Structural Insulated Panels) on the living room portion of our house. The SIPS are made of a 12" slab of foam with OSB on either side. These panels are engineered to fit snuggly together to create the roof of our home. On top of this layer of panels will be another layer, but not quite as thick. 

The following photo shows the first SIP going over the living room. The SIP will be covered with drywall to complete the ceiling of the house.
