I would have liked to added 4 more feet to the length, but time money and space, said other wise. The I-Joists are 9" and 12" on center, packed with 1"x1/4" urethane foam, I got for free when work was redoing the 1 Acre roof. The panels I picked up for 50 bucks each are 4' x 10'. I cut them in half for the two side walls. Then added 2x8's two foot high on top of them. The guy I bought these from had only enough to build this size building and this way, other wise I would have gone all the way w/ the sip's. The roof is 2x6 again packed w/the urethane foam. Super quiet inside. The glass up top is double pane low-e. I have a small AC than I only run when it's in the 90's, I have a little oil filled radiator I set on 65 for the colder months. I also have a dehumidifier I run all the time. I have a bar sink w/ a on demand hot water in the cabinet now. things have moved around a little but not the mess.
This was a test. I wanted something before we build a new house using the SIP's. WOW. I love them. The wife came out w/the granddaughter one day upset about something. Within 15 minutes with the three of us in there, it started to get hot! (wife is hot blooded anyway) I had to turn on the AC.
I made the building to split in half to take with me when we move. A little more room would be nice in the future, but for now it's perfect for me.
