Building the Main Floor

The last wall, behind the entertainment center.

Making sure the walls are straight, level and plumb.

And now the bedroom/bathroom wall.

On to the bedroom closets...

The first wall erected separates the bathroom
shower from the living room.

Next... our main-level interior walls.
That's Steve Sipes calling the shots.

Adam grooms the top of the wall to prepare it
for the top plates.

We painted the subfloor to protect it from
rain during construction.

Adam's building materials are out the window
and ready for pickup.

Another view.

And there they are... our new main-level ICF walls.

Almost done now.

Now they're back to the usual division of labor.

Adam adjusts the wall by turning the brace support
while the pump truck operator does double duty.

And, having added the top course of blocks, its
time again to pour cement.

The bucks are in.

Adam braced the walls in preparation for installing
window bucks and the top course of ICF blocks.

We painted the bottoms of the window bucks
to protect them from rain during construction.

The walls are rising.

OK... time for more ICF walls. This time they're

9.5" thick, instead of 11.5". Same foam thickness,
but less concrete.

Ahhhh, things are getting better.

Our new main floor!

And now the sub-floor.

Keep 'em coming!

Here come the I-joists.
