Supplies

So our Quadlock shipment came into town a couple of weeks ago, the local building supply house is holding it in their lumberyard until we're ready for them. Quadlock is the name of our insulated concrete form (ICF) supplier. It's basically a lot of big Styrofoam Legos. They shipped them up from Atlanta, the trucker that hauled them here says that it was the second lightest load he'd ever carried on his rig. The lightest? Boxes and boxes of feathers. This picture is only a small portion of the forms. It's a lot of insulation. You could make a lot of disposable coffee cups with that amount of styrofoam.

Now if only we can get to the point where we'll actually start stacking those forms... I'm learning that there's a lot of waiting that goes on in the building process. We're still waiting on the excavation. The driveway is basically complete now, so we just need the hole dug so we can put in the foundation. It should be happening pretty soon now. I meet with the local code-enforcement guy tomorrow to verify that we have satisfied the setbacks to the river before we start digging. Hopefully Jerry, our excavator, can be out here soon after.
