HIGHEST GOOD HOUSING PROGRESS

This last week the core team put another 10 hours into the behind-the-scenes revision for the Footers, Foundations and Flooring page for the crowdfunding campaign we are developing. This week’s focus was on the continued intensive read and dissecting of Section 10 Construction of Stem Wall and Dome, and on Section 11 Floor Construction, and Section 13 Subterranean Exterior Ground Finish of Polyethylene Water Barrier and EPS Insulation. We updated the 6 mil poly horizontal subterranean EPS installation due to a change in how it is installed; changing it from cutting multiple pieces and patching them together to cutting a single larger ring with a center hole to slip over the dome in a single piece. We’d say we are now 89% complete with this total update and rewrite behind the scenes.
