The ICF foundation does a great job of keeping the basement warm. December 5 brings electricity to the house via hook up of the main panel in the basement, with some outlets and on December 12 also hook up of the power supply to the pump for the well. Since the phone was also hooked up this week, technically we have power, phone, running water and septic now available (roughed in at least). Thanks to Danny McIver for getting us power and making a heater and blower available. It is now hooked up to keep the basement from freezing. Bob is here showing where he put temporary insulation in the subfloor and is now installing vapor barrier - this is to keep things snug so that we do not freeze and heave that newly poured basement floor.
