"R" U Kidding

Here we are, building an entire house out of ICF’s (insulated concrete forms), and come to find out that the roof does not meet minimum code requirements for “R” value. Seems concrete has nearly zero “R” value and the roof forms feature one skinny foam area that brings down the overall rating.

If its not one thing . . .

On the bright side, we are still getting good midday sun in the middle of November. Our old house, on the other side of the river, had no sun at all for almost four months!
