Absolutely awesome. Living in the Coleman house and cooling it on the hottest summer days with a couple of blue ice packs. You can kiss the utility company bills goodbye.
Love the "scaredy room"....wish I had one.

the roof insulation than I do. It was applied to the underside of the roof 6"+ thick. Where the walls and roof meet they were very careful to seal it well. The logic behind this is that its easier to insulate against the outdoor temperature than the heat build up inside a normal attic.

The "envelope" theory. I am still considering the same for our little pond house; TBD. Greg Grimes (or should I say his General Contractor, Wendy) re-did their house with polyisoanurate (sp?) ie; icynene foam insulation. It's a go-er.

I want more pics, man. This is really unique construction and we need to see more details on the facets that we don't often see.
