Our Home Construction of Our Home 2010 and Expansion 2023 |
|
Note: The house was not made with concrete blocks. It is a "hurricane proof house" made from ICF - Insulated Concrete Forms, which means that all of the exterior walls are solid concrete and steel poured between the ICF forms. This product is designed to last 1200 year.
We moved into our home on Thursday, July 22, 2010, just after getting the occupancy certificate. The interior was complete (99%) but the exterior had more work to be done and the front yard landscaping to be completed.
Mortgage completed on November 19, 2020
