This is our first professionally produced full length video on the 100K Project. It is brought to us by the Philly tourism run blog, uwishunu, and the folks at streettalkin.com. It was a pleasure working with them and we are happy with the results. Check it out an let us know what you think.

Well, we have had our first official delay in construction. Two things happened at the same time that actually worked out in the end. One, it is taking us a bit longer to get our plumbing permits and second bank draw than anticipated. This is causing us to not be able to finish the slab […]

I don’t know how I forgot to post anything on this event until now. Get ready for lots of links in this post. A Clean Break sponsored and coordinated by Minima is part of the Design Philadelphia citywide event that is starting today and running for a week straight with over 90 programs scheduled.

ISA was […]

Now that construction is moving along and our target end date can be measured in weeks, it’s time to get down to the details. There are a lot of items on the to do list as far as finalizing materials, finishes and design. This post is as much an aide to the team as it […]

The end of week two of construction marks the completion of the foundation. Tino surprised us and came out on Saturday evening after to wrap up the foundation work. In a matter of hours, he and one helper installed insulation, backfilled the entire site and leveled the interior of the foundations in preparation for slab […]

Week two of construction has come to a close and we already have the footers and foundation walls finished. Next week will be prep and pouring of the slabs. Check out the video and image recaps below.

In week two we went from poured footers to formed […]

Construction is moving right along and we’re less than two short weeks away from having our SIPs (Structurally Insulated Panels) delivered by SURETIGHT. From the outset of our SIPs investigation and quoting, we were looking for a company that would not only deliver a great product, but one that was also on board with our […]

Well the foundation wall forms are almost completely in place. As I type, Tino’s crew is at the site buttoning up the last sections. Hopefully the rain will hold off so we can pour them today also. Below are a couple of photos we snapped at the end of the day.

You can see in the […]

We are trying to do a couple of things each week to keep everyone up to date on the construction process of the 100K House project. Nic will be taking video throughout each week and compiling it into a weekly recap. I have weekly LEED and Budget recaps on my list to do as well. […]

I love the look of the white stairway wall designed by ISA. It is clean, simple and modern without using expensive materials. At the same time, I struggle at times with the concept. I think the main thing is that I worry it will block too much of the light coming in from the windows […]
