Here's the drawing of our little house going up in BMB. Note, parapet roof which will have solar panels and also note the suns - which are placed to track the position of the sun in the sky over the year. ICF construction with stucco exterior.

Thanks for looking :wave:

Are those poured walls?

That's the insulated foam forms. They pour concrete in those on Tuesday and then they start the 2nd floor and after that the parapet roof will go on!

Exciting! Got up on scaffolding last night and was thrilled to look out over the village. And my balcony will be even higher than that. It should be a nice little beach cottage.

Thanks for looking.

You can see it peeking out now when you are driving past brickyard on 30A. RATS this hurricane. We are at a crucial point in construction - next week would have been fine, but this week is NOT GOOD!

I saw it today, rising out of the brickyard. You ought to have a good view of 30-A from the upper floor.

We will have a large patio and balcony upstairs. Here's the view from the scaffolding



And the sunset is really great too!

Hi - I think this may get more notice if you put your post in a different location - say under real estate rentals instead of in the lounge on a post about a private home. I don't think too many frequent this page :wave:

Thanks

Thanks and glad you are on the mend. Those tissues take time to repair. FL citrus is coming in - that might be a good thing right now.

Just curious, didn't look like the second pour had happened yet and I'm pretty sure that with the concrete it's not too wind resistant. Glad to hear it's okay.

You are right - they pour tomorrow and the roof should be on by the end of the week.

Thx :wave:
