Hello to all,
It's been a while since I've visited here, as the summer has been busy. I've finally started on the house construction, and it has been a one man build, so it takes a while. In mid July, I put the footing forms in and poured the concrete. Then came the frost walls for the walkout basement, another few weeks in. The build is completely ICF 8" block from footing to roof, and to date I am at the top of the basement walls. My building supplier brought the entire house of block in one shot, three truckloads of Nudura block. I have only taken two week off from work to do this, so its been mostly weekend and evenings so far. With the winter season coming, I can only hope I have enough time left to get things closed in. I will post some pics a little later showing the progression.
Thanks for reading!
