Re: Our house We are also going to be building with ICF's in Travelers Rest. We have 3 acres. Also doing the design myself. Have you found a designer in the area yet? Looking forward to seeing how your project goes. (Reply)
| Re: Our house Our property is almost in Tigerville, off Mush Creek Rd. I'm working with a local (FL) designer who put all my sketches and doodles into buildable form. Our design is basically finished, except for minor changes. The house will only be 1200 sq ft on the main floor, but there is a bonus room upstairs, a full walk-out basement, and the back porch is 640 sq ft, facing the mountains. Although the design is for 2X6 walls, I'm thinking about SIP's, on an ICF or pre-cast basement.
| Re: Our house Nice piece of property. Lots of trees. We have alot to clear also. We are in between State Park and Little Texas. We are on the east coast south of Daytona. Hadn't thought of using a designer down here. Still trying to sell the house here before we start anything up there.

| Re: Our house I'm thinking about an ICF basement. I'll be doing much of the construction myself, but I'm nor sure on the ICF's yet.
| Raw land So far, we've just had a path for the driveway cleared. I haven't decided yet whether to have the gravel done, or wait until we are closer to a build date. The house design is nearing completion. It is my own design, but I am paying a designer to put it in blueprint form. (Reply)

| Re: Raw land I'm thinking of ICF for the walk-out basement, and probably SIP's above grade. My only concern w/ICF for a foundation is termite tunneling. It seems to me that the SC building code has something about not having foam below grade? I would love to find someone to sell me the blocks and supervise the pour. I can stack the blocks easily enough, but I'm nervous about the bracing and pouring.
