Looks great Brandon! ICF is the way to go, I can't believe how cheap our house is to heat. If you need some help finishing some of the rooms later let me know. I have done most of the work on our house and have most of the tools needed.

LOL I love the pics of both raw hardcore construction and delicate lamps in the same post!

Looks good man, that construction technique looks cool as hell!

Jet, what is ICF?
Yeah they let us choose either block or poured foundation (same $). Had no idea which is better so after asking around we chose poured. So apparently they just build a mold and pour concrete in to fill it up. Kinda cool to see.

And jet thanks for the offer. Will have to hit you up when we start finishing the theatre room!

ICF- Insulated Concrete Forms

It is a system of styrofoam forms held together by plastic ties and filled with concrete. Depends on the system you go with there are a few different ones. It works very well and the r value is crazy. Also they say you can screw sheetrock directly to it so no need to fir in the basement wall just vapor barrier.

I have installed 100 plus of these basement systems and would recommend them to anyone.

Ahh, I thought u had the foam blocks inside the forms. Yeah, the R value is nuts with icf. We spend less than $200/Mo on heat for a 4k sqft house in the coldest months. I just got a collated screw gun, self loading.
