Dan Hossack's new house is a beautiful energy efficient house with ICF walls and radiant heat in floors. The house is on a sloping terrain to the North at the back.

There is a walk out at the back and Dan had planned an elevated deck over the walkout. The deck layout angles so it is narrower on the East side and is wider on the West end. When I had a field visit when Dan was still in the planning stages, he had projected he would need a couple of posts as supports at the North edge of the deck.

I told Dan, I did not like the idea of having posts in front of the walkout and I told him that I could design the deck without having to use the posts. This was back in September-2006. On Dec-28-2006 Dan called me to come have a look at some of the work he had done so far and give him the rest of the design so he could submit it to the Independence Township Building Official for approval.

I was at the site on Dec-29-2006 to look at the as-built configuration, and I gave Dan the design information he needs to submit to the Independence Township. For your reference I am posting a few pictures of the deck work in progress. I will post more pictures of Dan's beautiful house in a few days.

That reminds me, just a stone's throw away from Dan's house is another house I have worked on -- the Kubli House -- Stephan and Amy Kublis's energy efficient ICF house. That house is just about all done. I should one of these days show you the pictures of that house also.
