Done...



Just kidding....

Actually, I spent the last few days resting and planning in my small mind what needs to happen next.  There is a lot of phone calls to be made. 

The picture above was taken from a Parade of Homes in San Antonio a few years back.  That particular Parade of Homes was really neat, and we have tried to incorporate a lot of their ideas into our design... 




A Cantera fountain in front of a home in Phoenix... Love the classic design...

Ok, so enough screwing around on here... 

My project for the day is to figure out what kind of penetration to make in the ICF for the following items..

1.  Direct Vent Fireplace
2.  Master Shower Vent fan (this has to vent sideways out into the courtyard)
3.  Geothermal lines.
4.  Hose bibs.
5.  Gun Turrets (just kidding)

OH, I tried breaking up some of the loose concrete here and there yesterday with my sledge hammer.  Also tried breaking up some of the "Washout".  I was able to break some of it up, but anything very large in diameter was futile. 

Also talked to my dozer guy and he has a different plan than I envisioned, and I like it.  He is going to bring in some "bull rock", or what he called 4 x 6, and then spread that into the existing tracks.  Then dress the driveway back up over the top of that.  He says the bull rock will provide much better footing and distribute the weight out better.  Hope it works.
