I just came to this site, don't know what I am doing. Need a solar answer or two. ritanbria Registered Users Posts:2 08/15/2007 12:45 AM   Am I in the right place? ARdolson Registered Users Posts:10 02/23/2008 3:37 PM   no this is a testing area (I'm just testing.) Father of the Paw Registered Users Posts:7 02/27/2008 11:58 PM   Am planning a sip room addition and roof addition onto a strucure after a fire. Surviving section is standard 8' stud walls encased in a classic limestone block exterior, roughly 40' lng(would not be practical to replace with sips) adjoining sip wall section replaces 25'' section destroyed in fire. Had originally planned on using 30' attic trusses resting on top double plates over top of both sections. With trusses bottom chord serves as both 1st floor cieling and attic floor. To rebuild with sips would it be necessary to go with a taller panel (8' 8" or so) and use blocking to bump up the plate height of existing walls to accomidate joist hangers or is it possible to attach a hanger in the area where the roof panel meets the 8' stud/8' sip wall section? Might an engineerd truss/sip hybrid be feasable utilizing non structural panels? I just recently happened onto sips and am pretty much sold on the benefits, but part of me still loves the idea of multi tasking engineered truss. Any comments?
