These are some shots from the work that the boys did last week.

The SIPS Arrive!

SIPs (Structurally Insulated Panels) will be the exterior walls and roof of our home. These are custom built based on our house plans.

After his coffee break, our project manager will direct us on how to put this puzzle together (next week).

Concrete Slab

Pouring the concrete which is going to be our first floor.

The concrete sets for a few days and is showered (with 

sprinklers) to keep it from cracking.

Zone valves

Our first wall!!!

We really are building a house... look and see...

Well it has been some time since I have been able to update the blog, between endless traveling with work, Nick continuously working on the project and trying to stay healthy; we have not been current with the blog. HOWEVER... lots is going on.

This is what happened before the concrete slab was poured...

 

Setting up zone valves and tubing for in floor heating system.

   

Since I Have Been Gone PART 3

Gravel has been dumped into the floor base which will help create a solid foundation and allow the boys to prep for the in floor heating system.

The water & sewer disposal pipe has been installed; all part of the slab prep.

Now that Ridg and I have been able to inspect the progress we should see a lot more changes in the near future.

Since I Have Been Gone PART 2

After the footers were set the stem walls were set up and poured.

 

Then the foundation are back filled and the floor is compressed .

 

 

Since I Have Been Gone!

Check out the latest! Since I have been designated the blogger in the family, there have been no new posts since I was away. YES... away, on vacation, Johanna actually got a vacation. That will be another post however.

So since I have been gone, Nick, Eric and Ridg put in the footers and poured concrete.
