Wow - A house is in the making!! We almost finished the fifth level. The windows and doors needed to be framed out. To do this, we needed to cut boards on our friend, Bob Carney’s, tablesaw to the exact width as the interior dimensions as the foam blocks. We screwed these together and framed out the downstairs window and the sliding glass door. Swam at Francis on the way home. Bob Carney has been a Godsend to us in the building process. He is the husband of our realtor friend, Karye Carney of Islandia Real Estate. If you are in the market, land prices are coming down and she’s the realtor for you!

We put the bracing up in the cistern. The braces we used were also from Bob Carney who also sells the Formtech ICF’s that we used, They work really great as a bracing during pouring, but also provide a planking system for standing on during the pour. Finished Level 6 on the cistern and 5 all around. Nice salad and appetizer at Tage on Wine Down Wednesday. Had "truth" which was awesome. Over dinner we decided on going concrete for the roof.
