ABSTRACT:
Home building construction is characterized in a combination sidewall and roof extending from the building base to peak over the length of the building. The combination sidewall and roof provides internally of the home a continuous surface on which a sheet of air-vapor barrier extends from building base to top over insulation material positioned between the rafters. The connection between the barrier sheets is essentially impervious to prevent moisture laden air within the building migrating through the barrier. A pair of support beams are fastened horizontally to the respective sidewall at normal first storey ceiling height to provide a two-storey building. Each support beam has a barrier sheet affixed to its inside surface prior to installation. The air-vapor barrier overlying the insulation is affixed to the air-vapor barrier on the beam at its top and bottom and is so connected to provide an essentially impervious barrier to moisture laden air within the building.
