- Welcome back to Episode 3 of our exciting "Start to Finish Home Building" series! In this installment, we're taking you on a journey as we move one step closer to completing the home.
In this episode, watch as we remove the forms that have served as the foundation's framework and bring in a cutting-edge construction technique: Fox Block Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF). These innovative blocks will pave the way for an incredibly sturdy and energy-efficient stem wall.
But that's not all - we've arranged for a concrete pump, allowing us to efficiently and precisely fill the forms with concrete. Witness the seamless process as our team works together to create a foundation that's built to last.
If you're a DIY enthusiast, a home construction aficionado, or just curious about the building process, this episode is a must-watch. Join us as we embark on this journey towards realizing our construction vision, one block at a time.

What keeps the blocks on the snapped outside Lines?
The friction between the foam and concrete keeps it in place. Some expanding foam under the blocks will work also to glue it in place
