We now work with the Concrete Builders Association to build all of our houses with concreteWe build using Styrofoam forms, Eco Blocks, (pictured below) into which concrete is poured.  When it sets up, the forms serve as extra insulation.  It's much more energy efficient and lasts indefinitely (check the Romans!).  Interior walls are framed and drywall is used...outside, siding can be affixed to furring strips.

We work on Saturdays and Thursdays.  We'd love to have your help and fellowship!  Construction is going on now and we need volunteers to help with building.  If you would like to help, call our office at 732-5793, to let us know that you or your group would like to volunteer.
