    Mike, you are a good teacher. Thanks for helping train incoming trade workers. Its going to make a big difference for
    NYA Millennial. Here is his video for ICF second level stacking ruclips.net/video/-LgqvLBLVLw/видео.html

    So true what you said about subcontractors leaving imperfections for the next guy to deal with. By the time you get to the finished product it’s a snowball effect and your house is a mess. I was working with a general contractor awhile back and his foundation guys and framers and drywall crew had all been working with him for around 20 years so they all knew each other and there was good communication and rapport with each other. The end result was straight walls and no nail pops and everyone was happy - including the customer. Makes a huge difference in my opinion.

    As a 40 year veteran Aerospace Engineer, I have lived/worked in 38 Countries and most of those build their houses in Concrete, including the Villa I currently own in the French Riviera. And more than that, living many years in Israel (during both Gulf Wars), I can personally attest to the strength (and emotional support) this kind of construction lends ... have a SCUD Missile detonate 1km from your house and all you lose are your Windows (which got duct taped to prevent glass chards flying) but nothing else moved a mm.
    I am originally from Texas ... was there during the Tornado that hit Fort Worth back in 2000. And ever time I see the destruction like we just saw in Kentucky a couple of weeks ago, I just shake my head and ask "why?" ... knowing Insurance (idiots) and the homeowners will probably build back in conventional "wood" methods (and as a young man, I know that as well being a "Framer" for a few years). Same for our Hurricane prone Gulf/East Coasts ... ICF is like a "Boat" (if properly coated). All I can say is thank goodness folks like you are slowly turning the Tide (pun intended) ... I've oft said that if I was POTUS after the horrible loss in Property/Life that accompanies these events, I wish I could have a "Fireside Chat" with the American public and simply read them the story of "The 3 Little Pigs" ... maybe they'd get it.

Builders would strip off the inside foam, then they started put a sealer on the outside and adding drains.

    you should think about getting a boom truck if your going to do basements regularly. the reach is amazing you will find yourself using it for all kinds of things and if you get one with a nice open flatbed you can carry all your bracing on the truck combine with a concrete pump trailer and your a one stop shop you can hang the pump hose from the crane and have the capability of a big pump truck. crazy thing is though the pump will cost more than a boom truck with a 100ft boom

    Damn you Michael! You make it look so easy. Not taking anything away from Matt, everything I have seen him do is quality work but, he will never be as good as you. Sorry Matt but you have some big shoes to fill. 😁 And why isn't plum wall giving you those braces? You've probably sold 100 or more sets for them. Great, great, great video Michael.
    Did I say great video?

    I heard the one worker state that this build was done in Kentucky. I am finishing up plans with my designer and I am planning an ICF Nudura house build in Florence KY. I noticed that you used the same size Nudura on the first floor as on the basement and Nudura recommends 8" basement and 4" first story? Would you be the go to for my build by any chance or have a good company to recommend for that area?
