Some progress, some waiting. While waiting for our floor trusses to ship from Pennsylvania, we had a waterproofing, called "Deco 2", sprayed onto the ICF foundation - a water-based rubbery compound.

Then we attached the "Eljen" drainage fabric with 4" perforated drainage pipe in the sleeve. Rented a Bobcat and move quite a bit of dirt to raise the surface of the trench 8" at the high point and give a slope to the pipe. then 6 mil poly at the bottom of the trench to direct water to the pipe. When backfilled, this should prevent any surface water from making it's way down to the grade beam or caissons.

Finally the trusses arrived a couple of day ago, and we've started installing them, on the huge joist hangers we attached to the ledgers. Framing has officially begun!

The Ledgers are hung on the ICF's with care, in hopes that floor trusses soon will be here.

And mudsills installed, cripple walls built, etc. Since the subfloor rests right on the mudsill on the higher part of the foundation, it's pretty critical to get those perfectly flat, so I did quite a bit of planing and shimming to avoid a roller coaster subfloor, which could "telegraph" it's way into the walls.

We're going to use "Open Joist" floor trusses, which are all from solid-sawn lumber, no OSB. Got bids on "Spacejoists" which have a metal web, and regular plated floor trusses. The Spacejoist was higher$, and the plated trusses not much savings. Unfortunately, the Open Joists ship from Pennsylvania, so a bit of a delay in store. Time to spray a waterproof coating on the outside of the ICF wall, apply "parging" (stucco-like coating for 1 foot at the final grade line), and install Eljen drainage fabric and perforated pipe at the base of the uphill side of the foundation - to prevent any moisture getting under and lifting the foundation in these expansive clay soils.
