Ready for backfill

 We've made decent progress, after the ICF blocks were set we braced the inside walls, finished the rebar, and added knockouts for plumbing out and dryer vent. Also added conduits for water in, electric in, house bibs at 2 corners, and a couple extras just in case.


Concrete pour went ok but had 1 blow out at a cut block so that was stressful but we got it stopped.


Added 4" perforated pipe for drainage all the way around and the waterproof membrane.





Should be backfilling this weekend!

Kitchen almost done!

Image
 Kitchen cabinets were delivered a couple weeks ago, we got everything installed. Also got lucky and find a range hood cover that was the perfect size and a really good deal, so picked it up and installed it.  Got the vent insert nstalled this weekend. Finished some lighting above the sink and in the hallway as well as the island plugs and dishwasher.  We installed the shower slider doors in the master as well, and the mirror above the vanity.   Oh and we also got fridge, stove and dishwasher delivered!

Board & Batten started

Image
One of the last major things on the outside was to finish the gable ends. Getting tired of looking at the "84 Lumber Tyvek" up there. We picked up 1x12 #3 pine boards, & 1x2 #1 grade battens from a local Menards, not a bad price & better quality then other lumber yards. Saturday we installed all the 1x12 boards, I was on the ladder nailing & measuring, & Jessica was doing all the cutting on the miter saw down below. We started on the back side of the house. Once all the 1x12's were up, we nailed the 1x2 battons along the bottom & up along the roof line. Then we added the vertical pieces in-between. Here's the back side finished, it was getting a bit dark so the picture is fuzzy. Next weekend we'll tackle the front.
