Almost done

Posted to Hidden-Meadow-Home by Eric in Murrieta, CA on 7/13/2010

I can't believe it has been over a year since I posted anything to my journal. I guess my real job and building this house have kept me busy. The house is 99.9 percent finished. There have been many problems along the way, but it is rewarding now to say at least once in my life "I did it!".

The beginning

Posted to Hidden-Meadow-Home by Eric in Murrieta, CA on 5/20/2009

Well, we are finally building! We hired a site supervisor for a flat fee because I knew neither my wife nor I could be there enough to do it. We are building a 4,700 sq. ft. ICF home in the hills west of Murrieta, CA. It's on a sloped site and will have a walkout basement. We graded the site about a year and half ago, then got stalled in the banking fiasco that this country is going through. We finally obtained financing in March and got down to real work. When I say real work I mean construction versus all the planning that goes into something like this. I cannot count the hours I have spent with house plans and the designer, civil engineers, structural engineers, county officials (don't get me started with those guys) not to mention researching and deciding what products to use. It has been fun but not easy, and at times stressful. I am going to add a few pictures. We have the basement walls up and waterproofed and are ready to backfill.

Don't know when I will be able to add more... we'll see.
