Some notes on this beautiful, energy efficient SIP home in northern Minnesota from the homeowners themselves: "Our house is located just outside of Moose Lake, MN.  We keep our interior temp at 72 degrees.  We started building our house the summer of 2005 and just finished the summer of 2006.  We moved in the fall of 2005.  We have an open floor plan and vaulted ceiling upstairs."
