My new garage.

It got a real bad name back then. Dryvit Systems, Inc

Yup, Dryvit got a bad reputation, but am not convinced it was the actual product's fault.

IIRC, Dryvit was a type of stucco on home exteriors. Problem was the overall system where many installations were not correct. Problems occurred when either foam or wood backing extended below the plaster and allowed water to wick upward, or flashing was not correct and allowed water to gravity feed. End result was soggy wood backing. If termites did not get to the wood first, it rotted from water and would also compromise the walls. Repairs were expensive, but once done *correctly*, everything was good.

I've heard similar stories about SIPs.
They have a lot of issues, most of which are lack of attention to detail.

Nice scaffold.
With the inverted V bracing in the middle of the walkway, will that make it feel somewhat tippy when stepping from one edge to the other ? ? ? ?

 

[denata]

The arms of the inverted V are offset from the center. They are not on the same axis. One arm supports the far side, the other arm supports the near side. I loaded 250 kg (~500 lbs) on the center and nothing cracked.

Cool build thread.

That's right. The snow has melted, and before it falls again, we need to act.

Gott make hay while the sun shines….errr pour concrete while the temps are above freezing.
