Our Future Home - Steeldust Meadows

These are pictures from September 2010. A MAJOR milestone. Now that the ICF is done, we brace it all, form the rest of the house and pour the foundation. By the end of the month, the forms are stripped and we're ready to pour the front porch.

September 17th, 2010 - A MAJOR day. We get up early in the morning to finish the scaffolding and ribbon strips around the top of the ICF. Concrete arrives and we pour 63 cubic metres in the foundation. While we pour, we insert rebar, anchor bolts and 15mm dowels for the porch slab. There's not as many pictures as we would like only because we were all so very busy.
