Recap by Tammy A

A few years ago, there was a couple in Idaho building a ICF house. They tried to present themselves as experts, only to prove they had no clue. It was a comedy show with too much ego and BS. I am glad to see you took the time to learn the product!

Our prayers are with your sister-in-law. God’s Speed.

Enjoyed the video, praying for your sister-in-law recovery!

Prayers for your sister in law build is looking great Geoff

You & Dawg Dawg are great together. Amazing how a highly stressful moment can change the moment you touch the pup or even chat with the pup. Awesome stress relief. I would show up at the cabin build and they would tell me of a delay and before they told me they said I should get the dog! 😂😂. My dog feels my feelings very well, so they knew better than to p*ss me off as well. They were some of our best discussions because they learned to watch the dog and I relied upon her to keep me grounded! 😂😂. I’m not that bad, but it was a great running commentary. If it was supplies, no problem, if it was their screw up, I had a tendency to remind them it was a 800 sq ft cabin and ask them how I could recommend them for the larger builds they were trying to get into. A lot of it was staff just not wanting to work & because the job was in the sticks, they didn’t come to work with no chance to replace them. I fixed that quickly with incentives for every week they showed up all 6 days of work. They worked 6 hours on Saturdays. Odd, I know. Money talks with the current younger generations!! Especially what they think of as “free” money. They thought it was coming out of MY pocket, it wasn’t. The employer funded it. Only an extra $20 per day, but man did that matter to them!! 😂😂. Got rid of the problems and they finished only a week late as we had great weather in the fall and 1st half of winter!! Your nephew sure learned things quick and he seems to have some very decent organizational skills. He would be really nice help for the summer! Hope you can land him!! So sorry about your sister-in-law!! She is fun! Probably has moments she leaves you in stitches laughing!! 😂😂. I will think about her and hope for the best!! Glad you mentioned something (even though it’s none of my business, I like your family Geoff!). There definitely IS progress!! Looking forward to see how you tie the main floor in as the ceiling for the basement entry level and so on! Do you pour at that point or do you go to the peak with the blocks and then pour all of it at once to avoid cold joints? My buddies couldn’t answer for their places as they gave the contractor a timeline for lockup and went farming!! Didn’t have time to check in! Each of them ran just over 12,000 acres each with a lot of that in crop! I was a little guy with 8800 acres in that area!! 😂. Sooo first concrete on Monday! Wow! You seem to have a lot of energy (stress too) on concrete days!! Looking forward to it!! Do like me and carry the dog around!! 😂😂 (ok my dog is 16-17 lbs 😂). Carrying all 60 plus(?) lbs of Dog Dog would take the concrete off of your mind though,,, 😂😂😂. Take care and be safe, Eh!

Prayers and remembering your sister in law, in her time of surgery, and oray for God's healing hands to bring her out on the other side with no more pain. Looking forward to the next video.

Thanks for the update, Geoff. Great progress on the house. Big hug to Liz, hope surgery helps heal her, she's in my prayers. God bless your whole family.

Prayers for your family

Will be thinking of your sister in law, hope she gets relief from pain. Your house is coming along well.

thoughts and prayers for your sister-in-law! between you and Dirt Perfect getting a lot of info on ICF.

best wishes for your sister-in-law. hope she gets well soon. the place is really coming together. can't wait to see it when all is done. it's a great design.

I believe it was when you went to Paris last year, that your sister-in-law commandeered, or is it captained, an episode or two. I remember her doing a fabulous job. We offer prayers for her quick recovery from the surgical procedure.

Bealy Good you need to convert the silt catch pond into a constructed wetlands and then put some intake pipes in your main pond with some solar powered pumps to draw from various areas around the pond and flow it continuously (or at least in the day if no battery back up) through the constructed wetlands and then back into your pond......just an all day circulation system into that wetlands for the plants to catch and filter the stuff in the water and then the water flows back into the pond cleaner

I appreciate the educational parts and I’m sure that future ICF home buyers will find the data useful too. Although you are spinning in multiple directions at most times, it was coherent and fell perfectly into place. Must say that you guys make ICF look much easier than it probably is. Best wishes and prayers to your sister in law. 🙏

Prayers going out to the SIL. 🙏🙏🙏

Thanks

We got to know your Sister in law when you went on vacation, she seems really nice and I hope it all works out because we all know pain sucks!
