Every year for Christmas we make houses/villiages out of graham crackers, a few years ago I used stick pretzels instead and after they have served their purpose as decorations we cover them in birdseed and put them outside. it can be funny watching…
Thank you - I thought that would be a great project for my Grandson during Thanksgiving break. My Dad does so much to feed all the wildlife in his yard, I thought it would be good for my Grandson to make one for his Great Grandpa for a Christmas gif…
I don't mind at all, my girls are grown and we still do it when they are home. They had a blast doing it when they were little. We would do it during their Christmas vacation. One year my youngest daughter tried to make a sky scraper, but it was too…

- Tell us about yourself:
- On Jan. 2, 2005, we lost our home/business to a fire. We had built our home and only lived in it for 4 years, so it was a great blow. Everyone was safe and that's what mattered. We had always wanted a log home, but thought we would wait until our kids were grown. With this loss facing us we dicided "Why wait", let's do it now! So, that was the beginning of building our dream again!
One of the "Major" changes since we built our own log home is a change in employment, We were mostly a stick frame home builder and did some comercial building, but after building our log home we went strictly to building log homes, which we love.

In answer to your question about ICF, I have minimal knowledge of that method. There was a local news article about a home near here that used ICF construction, not only for the basement, but also for the exterior house walls. One of the builders I've spoken to recently advised that they build their "traditional" walls with three layers of insulation, which amounts to over 30-R.
What else can you tell me about ICF?
