well, i thought i was gonna learn icf construction. instead, i was in charge of the ensuring that the window bucks (the "containers" for the windows) were put in the right place. with the help of the floor plan and elevations, josh and i went to work with a tape measure and sharpies and marked the correct position of each window on the icf styrofoam. it got a bit tricky, as we had to consider that the icfs were 2 inches thicker than what had been included in the plans, so the measurements had to be adjusted accordingly. also, we had to be very careful if a window was next to an interior wall because the interior design is so 'tight' that there is no margin for error--1 inch short in one of the bathrooms spells disaster later. then, as luck would have it, after we'd measured and marked all of the window positions, we found out the w.01s and w.04s--planned for a 60" width--were actually ordered to be 48". Josh and i were back for another round.
it's suppose to get really cold tonight and snow is in the forecast. i did my snow dance...
