The Foundation is Finished!

Charles has finally finished the foundation! It is superinsulated to R-30 and consists of ICFs (insulated concrete forms) plus 2 inches of foam board on the exterior. It has bituthene waterproofing below grade and will eventually have structural skin above grade down to 6 inches below.

Charles was a busy bee doing a lot of earth-moving equipment work, which is hard on his back.


Finishing the last bit of fill:


Now onto framing! Charles ordered lumber today. I'm excited to see the house begin to really take shape.
