Joe_Carrick Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 I'm using SIP walls and I can't get the 1st Floor Platform to frame to the exterior face of the SIPs. Chief insists on making the SIP's go down to the sill plate and puts the Floor framing inside. Is this normal? Do I need to make a stud wall with 48" stud spacing to get this to work? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the heck is going on around here!? A couple minutes ago I beat Glenn to an answer and now Joe is asking a question...about something he doesn't know how to accomplish This is freakin' me out a little...

HamlinBC Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Not only that, but your post count is getting close to Glenn's as well... Did Glenn hi-jack your account?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted December 23, 2015 Author Share Posted December 23, 2015 Joe, How many times do we need to tell you. PTFP! Sorry Glenn, It's an X8 Plan so I can't post it in this Forum. Only X8 Beta users would be able to open it. IAE, I checked the Wall dbx - Structure Panel..... "Stop at Floor Below" wasn't checked. I'm not sure how that happened but that was the problem.

Paramount Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Joe, not sure what you are describing but the lower sill/SIP detail is a poorly sealed T&G shown in the attached. You can read my blog to learn more about the issues with the rest of the joints if you'd like. http://paramountbuilds.blogspot.com/ EDIT" Never mind see you found the issue, well on the PC anyway .

DRAWZILLA Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Hey Joe, I'm posting this just to try to catch you in post count, but how do you handle shear walls with the Sip's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted December 23, 2015 Author Share Posted December 23, 2015 In this particular case I'm doing a Luxury Tiny House on an 8'x20' trailer. Take a look at post #6 in this thread. It's a pretty typical detail but I'm lag bolting the plate to the floor joists which are bolted to the trailer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
