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. |

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.
Countertosp are available in a wide variety of colors. |

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.

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.

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.
