Dan-Hossack-ICF-House is ready for rough framing inspection. The house was initialy designed as stick wall construction. With the use of ICF walls details for installation of face brick and stone facade need to be submitted to the Independence Building Department.

The face brick and the stone facade on the ICF walls were installed using brick wall ties. The wall ties are jnserted typically at 24" c/c through the outer EPS foam skin so that on concreting that they get embedded in the ICF wall concrete. Flashing and weep holes are provided as in conventional stick wall construction.

The entire house has mostly face brick with the stone facade at some places.

During my walk-down inspection of Jan-09-2007, I noticed that practically all of the face brick and stone facade work has been completed. In the following, I have posted some pictures of the face brick and stone facade work.
