Here are the beginning photo's
of the Boothbay home.
Excavation work is complete enough to begin the foundation work.
Our new foundation forms go in place. Notice the top
plates are two separate pieces now and we're using reinforcing blocks
to help stabilize the forms during the pour of concrete.
Monolithic insulated heated slab foundation.
We have built more than 50 of these types of foundations in
Maine over the last 13 years.
The utility room is remotely located in this home, so we built
a special insulated chase for the water and heat lines.
Sub-slab plumbing.
All ready for the big pour. Complete vapor barrier
taped and sealed, two-layer 4" thick insulation, steel reinforcing,
heat tubing, water lines, and a lot more goes into the construction
of this kind of foundation. Everything is checked and carefully
inspected prior to pouring concrete.
