whoa thats quite the project you got going on, I've never herd of icf houses.
I'm from the monolithic dome camp, but I think I ended up there cuzz it's all i can mentally handle building myself with no construction background.
I don't have any construction background either, but I have had a lot of help from TF systems. Without that I don't think I would have made it this far.
We just about have the house closed in before any really bad weather hits. The windows should be in next week some time and the roof will go on about the same time.
A berm makes a great wind break. And we all like to break wind once in a while. Like this tiny ad:
