@Lakelover thanks for the link, I am not quite ready to do any concrete work yet but I will remember that site in the future. I can also take advantage of my US mailbox and save on thr brokerage fees.

Skiing and snowboarding is fun that’s how resorts make money. @Lakelover what ski area?

We are under 2000sq/ft. three baths, two of them stacked on top of one another. nothing to difficult. Electrical guys don’t want to deal with the ICF. I wasn’t planning on using them anyway but I wanted to get a quote.

@theamcguy tubing should probably outlast the building as long as it doesn’t freeze and the concrete stays intact. We keep everything pumped up to 70 psi while the concrete is poured to ensure no leaks.

@Lakelover The rep is going to have no clue what you’re talking about. And try to sell you another 12v tool. But Hilti is definitely not a small company. It may have something to do with where the parent company is headquarter as to who got sued and who didn’t.

@supimeister We had 50 tons or rebar, 1000 sheets (100 SF/each) 6 x 6 W1.4xW1.4 wire mesh, 500 cubic yards in the footings and foundation walls, 1500 cubic yards in the floors (basement + first floor deck). The floor concrete also included these massive concrete footings that spanned the length of the building – due to the building essentially…[Read more]
