Yesterday I went and visited a site that was using SIP's for their walls because I was curious as to how these panels go together. Below is a photo sequence showing them putting up 2 panels. With this method an entire house's exterior walls can go up in a day or two. Just to be clear this is not my house. We're probably 2 months from being to this point with my project.

| one person carrying a small panel |
 |
| making sure the first panel is plum |
 |
| Laying mastic and inserting panel on top of 2x6 on subfloor |
 |
| Ensuring panel is sitting correctly |
 |
| squaring panel before nailing |
 |
| Screwing the panel in place |
 |
| Applying mastic & standing up next panel |
 |
| clicking the next one into place etc... |
Just seeing this one go up so fast gives me confidence that I made the right choice going with SIP's. A couple of people can raise all the perimeter walls in a day or so.
