Lots of progress this week even though it was a bit rainy (the driveway took a big beating from the rain and big trucks).
ICF has been stacked--pic taken 9/22.
Addy and Daddy taking a break from all the house activity to eat a freshly picked honeycrisp apple...we picked 3 bushels.
9/23The big truck line-up...everyone jostling for space at the site.
Big Dog is what it's called. Pouring concrete is what it does. The mason is manuevering the tube so that the concrete makes it into the foam blocks.
The basement will have 1 big window on the east and west sides. Dan the builder put the windows at 5' 4" so that I can reach without too much effort (it should be obvious who is writing this).
Addy and Daddy mesmorized by Big Dog. The mason only stumbled from his position 3 times (that I saw)...yikes!
A view into our living space as the IFC is located on the east, west, and north sides. The south side will be framed in with 2x8's due to all the windows.
You can see the worker on the far right who is operating Big Dog so that the red cylinder is slowly moved down the line.
Addy watching the guys while sliding down the mini sand dune.
If you look closely you can see the foam filled with concrete. Hopefully ICF is all it is cracked up to be. Aaron and Dan the builder in the background.
The black cables lead to the 150' geothermal wells. They are working on the 4th of 5 wells.
One last pic of Big Dog.
