Understand if you don't care to say, but how deep are you financially on this? Or at least, no numbers involved, how are you compared to what you would imagine it would have run to have this built?
i'm assuming you are still in vermont building this?
I've been looking at both SIPs and ICF construction techniques.
I was curious what you used to vibrate the concrete during pouring?
For the insides of the ICF walls, are you going to apply the drywall directly, or are you going to have some type of furring strips to space the drywall out for drywall anchors for pictures etc?
Did you have electrical conduit in the exterior walls with junction boxes for outlets/switches?
What type of concrete did you have poured into the forms?
It appears that you had minimal bracing for the blocks, is this because of the type of blocks you used? I've seen forms that were supported front and back with plywood/bracing to keep from having blow outs and keeping the walls straight.
Keep up the good work, it's impressive to see it come together.
Did you save a lot of money doing the foam blocks yourself? How long did it take to place them all for the basement and 1st floor?
As someone who spent 5 years getting an architecture degree
Now, back upstairs to the kids bathroom.

So through all of this admirable work...when was the last time you brewed?
It's been a long time - even longer than the build process. I had to pack up all my brewing gear when I was trying to sell my house - there was just way too much stuff cluttering up the place. It's been a couple years at this point, but I hope to get something fermenting this summer.
I hope that you have some homebrewing friends that at least stop by and give you some of theirs.
