Layering plywood would be the easiest but it also wouldn't be too hard to replace the osb. I'm out of town tomorrow for work but will take a look at it on Sunday.

Thanks emanaresi. Would you mind sharing your quote for the geothermal? Horizontal or verticle loops? You can pm me as well. No problem if your not comfortable sharing. Our quote was for horizontal loops, two systems - one 4 ton and one 3 ton. Total of 6 independent zones. It included all ductwork along with duct for bathroom fans, kitchen hood, and combustion air duct for the fireplace.

Duct work for HVAC started yesterday and they've made pretty good progress so far. Do to the layout of the house and limited areas to run ductwork most of the upstairs rooms will be fed from the attic. First floor will be fed from the basement.
Our insulator will be by tomorrow to get some measurements so we can get an estimate on the remainder of the house. He is also going to spray the fireplace chase for us so we can go ahead and get the fireplace installed and get some cheap heat going.
Patios are also formed up and we are waiting for a day above freezing so we can pour. Looks like Friday or Saturday is going to be a good day. Also - I just noticed today that I did not run any drain pipe for gutters. Luckily I caught it before the pour. I plan to run 4" smooth sewer pipe instead of the corrugated drain tile unless anyone has a different suggestion. I'll get it in tomorrow.

Looking forward to seeing the pix, cuz as they say..."It didn't happen if there are no photos"
Beautiful home and I'm enjoying the build. :thumbsup:
Thanks Pix.
Yep - I've been slacking on the pictures. I'll probably take the time to take a few on Monday. We got the fireplace chase spray foamed today. Patios are going to get poured on Saturday. The double patio door we were waiting on showed up and was installed today. We are waiting on two windows now and our garage doors in order to completely close the house in.
Concrete was poured yesterday. We had great weather for it. 34 degrees in the morning and topped out around 50. Looks like we are going to be in the mid to low 50's for the next several days as well before dropping back to the 20's and 30's. Here's a few pics.

Great progress!!! I love all the details that you have in the house. I bet people will notice something new every time they come over.
On the columns, how does the pipe attach to the wood post?

There is a plunge cut made into the bottom of the timbers. The support pipes have a verticle blade welded onto the top of the plate. The blade slides into the wood post then a peg is driven through the post and metal blade locking them together

Nice!
What is that concrete finishing technique called? I don't think I've seen that style.

Hi Dave.
The concrete is "stamped". The stamp is just a natural stone pattern but not sure what the name of it was. The powder is added for color. It has a little bit of a bluish color right now but should end up as a charcoal color when its washed off and the concrete has cured. It will be washed, brushed, and sealed.
