    The BTU's from the proper size fire as well as placement can change cost of cooling and heating on a house drastically. Pools in my opinion are useless...

    Woodstove > fireplace

    Especially up here as they are quite often used as a main source of heat .

    Couple that with the thermal massing properties of the concrete over framing for the hydronic system and the house stays warm in between burns .

    Why is that?. OSB, these are similar to the walls that I discussed in my engineering class last semester.

    I recommend 4 ply plywood sheathing over OSB sheathing.

    I have used OSB for budget reasons in the past. But if one is building a custom home (OP)...I would not use OSB.

    yes...it is engineered. but real plywood is better IMO.

    and those insulated panels are a PITA...and designed for production. I couldn't use them in FL if I wanted to anyway probably.

    www.logixicf.com is the website for the company that manufactures the forms we plan on using.

    There are different levels of forms. The main reason to use these is the extra insulation an efficiency, and the sound insulation. It's also a little quicker than framing a house, less labour.

    I'd use insulated forms for the foundation...

    but I'd frame and insulate the walls. just an opinion.

    The ICF's prevent thermal bridging as you would see through the framing in a conventionally framed wall , having said that , I would lean toward ICF's for the foundation , conventional 2x6 ( R20 ) wall framing , covered in 1" of exterior XPS foam insulation panels

    This is a production home though, not a true "custom home". With the area that he is living sip ext/int walls will reatian a much higher R value than framed wall construction. And SIP walls are for anywhere.

    Agree on the foundation

    I wouldn use OSB on the roof even though they say you can with these panels. The only disadvantage to SIP walls with OSB is their tolerance to water is significantly lower then that of ply. However if you have water on your osb or ply then there are other factors at play. The cost of OSB versatility of use, and impact on the planet out weigh its one and only disadvantage to ply.

    Fortifiber is making a product now that rivals Tyvek flexwrap, the bonus is that is doesn't have the pull back that the Flexwrap has. Also, stateside, Tyvek is struggling a bit, the theories behind their technology are fading and rain screens are becoming prevalent. Soon to be code.

    why? :confused:

    :popcorn:

    plywood...you only have two strength axis along the grain of hte wood. OSB you have multiple, overlapping axis. plywood is available only as large as 4x8, OSB up to 8x24 in most cases. while osb is more cost effective is is also an engineered product and is stronger than ply. it is also a greener, more easily produced product

    :popcorn:

    :quickdraw: you again?!?!

    :rolleyes:

    :cool: I can agree wit that
