This would be a difficult poor in these sorts of conditions. Great site pictures. This is the sort of pour where precast concrete might be ideal.

After this burst of enthusiasm last Thursday, we awoke on Friday to close to a foot of heavy, wet snow. Ahem. So I’m no climatologist.

Absolutely. We’re in Utah and we have “the greatest snow on earth.” So, we do deal with the temperature ups and downs. Fortunately our builder is familiar with this climate. There has been a great deal of covering and heating of the concrete throughout the process. (Not so much on our last custom home!)

Fortunately, we seem to have just about come out of winter here. This week we’re in the 40’s and even 50’s. We may get another snow dump or two, but for the most part it’s only going to get better from here on out. Shout out to spring!

Hi alison,

The pictures look great! I’m not too sure about the soil around your parts, but freezing and thawing can cause cracks in your foundation over time, be sure to do some research about protecting your foundation in colder climates. I’ve subscribed to your feed so I can stay up to date on the project!

Thanks for you comment on our blog.

Anne, glad to see you here.

Do you mean exterior walls? There is rebar extending from the footings in the photos. Is that what you are looking for?

Looks fantastic but how will you add in reinforced walls without any exposed ironwork (from what I can see anyway)?
