Michael Morley is posting regular updates about his progress building a unique green home with structural insulated panels (SIPs). You can find previous posts here.
 
Progress is being made at the job site. On Tuesday, March 2, the excavator dug trench footings in at the site. The engineered building pad, made from recycled, crushed concrete, allowed for nice clean trench sides with no cave-ins. The next day Burlingame Concrete Company sent a crew who installed 2 inches of rigid foam on the exterior of the trench and poured all the footings in one morning’s work.
