Our monolithic slab foundation is completely waterproof.
Here, you can see the vapor barrier and insulation used to
isolate the concrete from ground contact.

This picture shows the steel reinforcing and heat tubing
in place, ready for concrete.  Note the large sill plates
used to support the 12" walls.

Our unique framing system was used to frame this two-level home. 
The massive wall structure will hold tons of high-density cellulose
insulation.

This strong, straight, rigid house frame is designed
to reduce heat conduction through the frame itself. 

Here, we are installing the cedar shingle siding over
a rain screen material called "cedar breather".  This
adds substantially to the life of the shingle by nearly
eliminating the chance of moisture problems behind the siding.

Durable exterior construction details such as large overhangs,
finger-jointed factory-primed pine trim, polyurethane caulkings,
factory-stained shingles, careful flashing details around windows,
and Rite-Flo aluminum drip edge, add to the value of the home for
decades.

Custom birch staircase.

Solid pine door in solid rabetted jambs, schlage
passage set, birch trim.

Birch casing trim, finely joined with glue and
biscuits to lock the miter together. Miters are
sanded and finished to a furniture-grade joint.
Note the color matched wood filler for the nail
holes.

Crown moulding on the kitchen cabinets.

Small, efficient, ground source heat pump. This
little box pulls heat from deep in the ground and provides
all of the heat and hot water for the family very
economically.

The engine room, as the owner calls it, incorporates
the large hot water storage tank, the hydropanel for the
radiant floor heating, and the air-to-air heat exchange
unit for ventilating the home.
