House of Foam | Strategy To Design

https://strategytodesign.wordpress.com/2008/12/08/house-of-foam

December 8, 2008. I refer to this house project as a house of steel, but recently it has seemed more like a house of foam. This is not a bad thing, since foam gives us the insulation and weather proofing performance we seek, but I do look forward to the time when all the foam is properly hidden away behind the steel trim. In the sketchup (www. Model I built of this house, there was a view that looked like this:. Real World Steel House. For us the walls and roof came on trucks in plastic wrapped bundles:.

Winter Work | Strategy To Design

https://strategytodesign.wordpress.com/2009/02/04/winter-work

February 4, 2009. My first impulse was to call the mason and ask him to come and build our Tulikivi fireplace, which I was guessing could supply all the heat we’d need. Turns out, of course, that the mortar used in building fireplaces needs heat to set properly, so he won’t come until we’ve heated the building (and don’t need him?

Radiant Floors | Strategy To Design

https://strategytodesign.wordpress.com/2009/02/07/radiant-floors

February 7, 2009. Radiant Tubing before pour. What I didn’t know, but now do, is that radiant floors require a simply crazy amount of plumbing. It’s not just each little black plastic tube has to get carefully tied down to the mesh before you pour your concrete, or that there is a maximum length of each tube (270 linear feet?

Visit from the west coast | Strategy To Design

https://strategytodesign.wordpress.com/2009/01/06/visit-from-the-west-coast

Visit from the west coast. January 6, 2009. Webmaster hereGenerally these are post written by the owner architect/construction foreman but as I have been to see this project for the second time I thought I would give you something from a different perspective. We went out there the day before yesterday and it was about well really cold. The contractors were all working very hard inside though despite the lack of heat. We went through the house and looked at how everything was going to be put together.

Window Views | Strategy To Design

https://strategytodesign.wordpress.com/2008/11/09/window-views

November 9, 2008. As with virtually every other element to this house project, the more I looked into windows, the more complicated they became. Obviously, because I was designing a super-insulated house, I started my search by looking for highly insulated windows. But the insulation issues is about energy efficiency, which means there is an economic foundation to the choice, and that means the costs matter too. Which looks like a very interesting company.

Polished Concrete | Strategy To Design

February 5, 2009. During the early stages of construction, I learned a great deal about concrete finishing and how difficult it is to get an even pour, a good surface and no annoying bits of insulating foam into the mix.

Closing it up | Strategy To Design

https://strategytodesign.wordpress.com/2008/12/28/closing-it-up

December 28, 2008. We knew from early on that the weakness of the insulated steel panel system was going to be the joints, and we have been relying on guidance from a super-insulated house expert and foam guru, Henri Fennell from Building Envelope Solutions Inc ( http:/ www.foam-tech.com/. Who specializes in spray foam solutions to the kinds of problems we anticipate. The spray foam seals the joint. Foam expands and its hard to clean. Dave foams corner from lift. From → Insulation.
