Structural Concrete Insulated Panels
The company that was to supply the panels and complete the erection folded.
So I set up my own shop to build SCIP panels.
Shot/Blast crete is applied after the panels are set.
The system is R40 walls, R80 roof, 250 mile wind load, 8.3 earth quake, and 4 hr fire rating with a heating and cooling savings of 70%
With all the set backs having to find the materials, tools, warehouse, teach crews to build the panels ……..so on I am looking forward to the next house as the learning curve has been steep. No SCIP home building guide for Dummies…….
I saw a vid of a SCIP wall that took a four pound hit with C4. The wall was not breached tuff stuff ..stucco or EIFS on alien steroids

Beautiful projects! Some of you have inspired me to plan my mountain cabin in new and interesting ways. If the wife will go for it!
Here's a little change of pace from the amazing woodwork...
My 1974 Dart Swinger. My Grandfather bought it brand new off the lot in 73/74 and it only had 40,000 original miles. Unfortunately it sat outside its entire life and was in really bad shape.
Here's where it started:
Here's where it ended up:
And pretty much finished it this September but I still have a few little details to take care of. Too bad I've reached the limit of my talent and my money at exactly the same time.

I helped build a Marble kitchen today. Bleah.
C'mon. Marble? In a kitchen? Are you serious? Not worth pics.
There's no accounting for taste, huh? (yeesh)

Not as beautiful as the glass ball and the store front, but it did take me a couple thousand hours to polish it up!

You must NOT have young kids! LOL Seriuosly beautiful finish on those cabinets!
This thread just keeps gettin better, eh Skully!!??
I have to refinish this bed for my daughter, it was her mothers bed and grandma's bed. Grandma is 80 now, so it an old bed. They painted it with an awful off-white antique paint when my wife was a little girl. It has knott been easy getting that paint off. Soaked it for five days! People used to be shorter so I have to rebuild the side rails they are 73" and the new mattress is 75'! I bought 14' of 5 1/4 x 6" Hemlock should be interesting working out the details! P.P.S. I couldn't find my board stretcher!! LOL

I am almost finished with this interesting home in South Lake Tahoe. It is the second one we have done with this wall system called Tridi-panels, kind of an inside out ICF. A local engineer ran some tests on various other wall systems and found this to be the most energy efficient wall he has encountered. It is made from recycled polystyrene, steel mesh and then coated with 1.5" of concrete on each side elminating the need for sheetrock or siding on those areas. This house was modeled for maximum passive solar gain in winter and of course the opposite in summer. If you're curious I can share more details, just shoot me an email. Cheers! Cory

The Round Table Gym & Pub-
My climbing cave is now complete.
This burmese hardwood table was brought back from WWII by my dad's buddy (RIP Tag!) in 1945, who coincidentally also helped teach me to fish and took me on my first backpacking trip with my dad when I was 10 yrs old.
The room is 12'x24' and sports over 300 holds and a roof section that follows a 6/12 pitch up to 12' high.
I'm not a carpenter... just an English teach, but I did it all myself, including plumbing and electrical (with help from a buddy!).
stop over and climb!

Craggy....Marble is soft. It soaks things up. If ya like stains, go for marble. I'd rather wait until we do a nice granite one. We do one most every day, but I was waiting on a really nice one, just to keep up with the Artists, don't cha know.
