It looks like the purlin is continuous from the inside of the conditioned building envelope through to the exterior unconditioned space. alto it looks like you have done a good job making sure the sheathing and weather wrap are tight to the purlin. Is there any concern that this location will be the major source of air infiltration and/or heat loss? How will the purlin hold up relative to the timbers that are completely enclosed in the conditioned building envelope? Is it more likely to develop rot where the warm air of the building and the cold air of the exterior meet at the edge of the envelope?<BR/><BR/>How strong do you feel the connection is from the sips to the frame with the drywall sandwiched between these two elements? Do you get a sense that that the drywall reduces the shear strength of the sips? Does the frame compensate for that or are you building in a non-seismic/low wind load area?<BR/><BR/>Again beautiful work, I wish I was there working with you.Shawn Herlihyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01983811638699164681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3035655338354593732.post-64331454322846910992008-12-17T20:16:00.000-08:002008-12-17T20:16:00.000-08:00Seriously, that's just amazing.Seriously, that's just amazing.Chris Rankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07475810265758003185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3035655338354593732.post-88931849717566427712008-12-16T15:40:00.000-08:002008-12-16T15:40:00.000-08:00Wow!
