Going Vertical
As the first step in building an energy efficient home, we chose Superior Wallls for a precast foundation. We will have a warm and dry lower level.
These "green" walls contain 1 inch of continuous DOW ® insulation, a special 5000 psi high-strength, low-water concrete mix, and the wall is reinforced with steel rebar and polypropylene fibers for strength. Many thanks to our friend Bob in Florida for advising us on our concrete selection.
This picture was actually taken in March when we met with our builders, Jerry & Patti Nelson, at the Rainbow Grill over pie to work out the details of our contract. Jerry enjoyed his pie.
