The surveyors just arrived and we’re kicking off the next phase of the Nudura ICF house build! In this episode, we pin out the footings, adjust excavation, and begin setting perimeter forms. We also deal with drainage issues, erosion, and check our benchmark elevations to make sure everything’s spot on. Stick around for some behind-the-scenes problem solving—and a few chicken-fueled lunch breaks.
