6 Computer automation calculates every wall dimension, ensuring each cut will be precise. The walls are built in sections, then covered on one side with gypsum board. All wall studs are 16" on center; the exterior walls are 2 x 6 construction, interior walls are crafted with 2 x 4 studs. The marriage wall (where the home is joined together in the center) is a double wall consisting of 2 x 4 studs, leaving you with a sturdy 8" center line wall.
 
7 Because Jacobsen has been building custom homes for over 40 years, we have always had our own in-house cabinet shop. When changes are made to a kitchen or bath, we have the capability to easily change cabinet layouts to adapt. Countertops are available in a wide variety of colors.

 
8 Between each rigid exterior wall stud a layer of R-19 fiberglass insulation is packed in for maximum energy efficiency. All wall insulation has a paper backing which lays against the interior side of the wall. This method prevents moisture from forming in-between the walls.

 
9 Next, we wrap the entire perimeter of the home with an exposure 1, 3/8" structural sheathing. Not only does this method add strength to the home, it prevents air filtration, adds protection from windblown debris, provides additional "R"-value to the walls and helps to prevent moisture from penetrating the walls.

 
10 In the roof cavity we spray a thick cushion of R-30 premium cellulose insulation; this helps in lowering your monthly electric bill. Before the rafters are covered with oriented strand board roof sheathing, a whole-house ventilation system is installed and quality control checks are made on the roof cavity.
