Re: House Projects
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.

Re: House Projects
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.

Re: House Projects
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.

Re: House Projects
Oh. Haha. I'm actually looking at renting a house to start. Our lease up here is up may 31st, but I want to be out of here a week or two earlier. I don't think there is anyway I could close on a house that fast and not be crazy rushed. I want to get one house and be there for good, so I want it to be "the" place. I figure if we rent for a year or so, that gives us time to find out exactly what we want.

Re: House Projects
Yeah I sold my place, Bman/Brandon/Halon has his place still and I think has been mildly contemplating renting to a member it might go for it.
There are a lot of nice places in blaine (1200/mo) down to not so nice places. The $1200/mo would of been for a place like mine 3br, 2.5 br 1600sq ft, 2 car attached in the lakes development. The newest, largest development in the city.

Re: House Projects
Not really a project, but I'm in the process of refinancing my house into a 15 year mortgage at 3.6% fixed!

Chase; plus 1% back at the end of each year (cash or applied towards mortgage principle) if it's auto-withdrawn from a Chase checking account (which I also have). They give nice discounts to the closing fees if you or a family member is a union member (my mom is) or military.
