The basement-slab-concrete-placement_for-Stehr-House-in-Highland-Twp-Michigan took place on Sep-29-2006. The saw cuts -- very carefully were made on Satuday Sep-29-2006. On Monday, October-02-2006 morning we had the ICF blocks and accessories dropped off at the site. And we started laying up the blocks. We are using Reddi-Wall forms -- these are 5 ft long, and 12" high.

It does help to have the concrete slab in place -- so that not only laying the first course is easier, the crew is working off a plane level surface and not out of mud and slush.

You will see from some pictures that I took at the end of the day, Dave Dotson, Matt Lincoln, and the crew made good progress -- this is with Dave Dotson not being 100 percent well with his leg hurting -- Good Job Guys!


This is a shot of the overall icf-wall placed today, Oct-02-2006 -- not bad for a day's work when the blocks were delivered this morning, and it was raining this morning -- you will agree that we sure have a sincere and hard working crew ... Picture 1

Here is a shot of the East wall at the North end with one of the braces installed. Notice the red marks on the bottom of the North wall and top of the Form-A-Drain to guide the crew where the brace can be anchored to the concrete without the danger of damaging any radiant heat tubing ...
