Can I inquire about the construction experience you guys had before you began building your castleblock homes yourselves?

We built our own house in the Pacific Northwest in the 70's (based on "Your Engineered House" by Rex Roberts, we were very idealistic then) and did a major remodel in Sunnyvale in the 90's. Nonetheless, we really consider ourselves amateurs, especially when we watch what the real professionals accomplish.

The ProTec SIP panels could be compared to Legos - they sort of lock together with splines and you fasten them together with screws. Not much more to it, works for amateurs. Installing the roof SIPs was mostly just a matter of screwing them to the beams.
