First Floor Framing

Framing has begun and most of the first floor is complete. Engineered joists and beams have been used to carry the loads across the open floor plan.

Utility Installation and Block Completion

All CMU block has been installed and waterproofed. Water and sewer connections have been completed. The first floor lumber has arrived and framing will begin soon.

CMU Insulation

The concrete block has been filled with Tripolymer two part foam insulation. It has a shaving cream consistency when wet and a powder/plaster texture when dry. This insulation brings the total R value of the block wall to R-17.7.

Slab Poured and Finished

The concrete slab has been poured and troweled smooth. Saw cuts have been made to add visual interest and reduce random cracking potential.

Slab Preparation

The foundation has been prepared for the concrete to be poured. Two inch insulation board has been installed over the entire area where the concrete floor will be. A vapor barrier and wire mesh has been added to complete the preparation.

Block and Plumbing

The first three courses of block have been layed and waterproofed. Rigid insulation board has been installed vertically on the inside of the block. The plumbing that will be in the concrete slab has been roughed in.

Foundation Footers

Footers have been dug and poured. Surveyor has completed the block point survey and CMU installation begins soon.
