Opening for the master bedroom window
Corner Rebar
Week 3
Upon commencement of the project, we all decided to “split” the project into two separate projects. This has allowed coordination of excavator, masons, waterproofing, plumber, floor framing, and even the ICF guys for a seamless build to date. Except for the weather, that is. It seems about wherever we travel, the locals say, “well the thing about the weather in ______ just wait 15 minutes, it’ll change.” Well in Jackson, the saying is 5 minutes. Some snow, rain, sun, wind, calm, snow, sunburn; All the same day. But it sure is beautiful.
To date, the master bedroom ICF is complete on one side of the home. The master is attached to the home by a slender walkway “loggia”. 12 ft. walls were poured with 19 ft. gables the same day. We also poured the garage located on the opposite end of the home to give the onsite carpenters plenty of work to get the wood ceiling/floor system installed above so that later we could pour some more gables on top. In the meantime, we are off to work on the center of the home where the masons have finished their massive concrete formwork for fireplaces and interior stone, and the carpenters have installed the wood subfloor.
