Probably more expensive. But the expensive part for me has been the Concrete and rebar.

I enjoy these updates. Remind us where the house is?

Middle of nowhere Wyoming. Just east of the Wind Rivers.

Yes. At least for a few years. I really like doing this building thing. I teach and coach, and that is great,

Why no basement. Isn’t the frost level like 4’ down?

I will be down 4 feet, but the water table is way too high to do the basement thing.

Are you going to do Geo thermal?

Not this time. I have a friend who has a green house out here, and he uses Geothermal, but I really have to get this

When I looked into it pre-covid ICFs were a little cheaper than a contractor
