We’ve been through a couple of back and forth e-mails with the designer at Allan making some tweaks to our design from an energy efficiency perspective. There were some details that we wanted to be sure were right in the cross section since the framers and project manager would be relying on those details to make sure that our home got built the way we wanted it.

We are doing a type of framing that is sometimes referred to as monopoly framing. (Credit to Matt Risinger for this description.) Think of a Monopoly house from the game. When you look at it, it’s all one piece from the bottom all the way up to the peak of the roof. That’s the idea of what we’re trying to do at the house too. From a barrier perspective, it will be all the same from the foundation to the peak of the roof.

I’ll do a follow up post with a little more nerdy details on it for those that might be interested.
