Here's the subdivision cul-de-sac we completed this
year:
Next image is lot 2 under construction.
The tractor trailer truck delivers Styrofoam forms that remain in place
permanently.
The concrete is poured between them, and the insulation value is great.
The inside of the basement is then ready for finishing over the Styrofoam .
Plus the first floor walls will be poured concrete too.
When another buyer wanted to send me his house plans,
he sent me to this web site.
His specific plan was numbered, but anyone can order custom plans by filling
in the blanks.
Too bad that truck wasn't painted up like these Truck

Murphy said.
Harvard junior running back Clifton Dawson scored from 2 yards out to lift
the Crimson to a 30-24 triple-overtime win in an epic 4-hour matchup that
included more peaks and valleys than Sleeping Giant, which was beginning to
disappear in the distance as dusk started to settle on this crisp, sunny

"Our effort was absolutely phenomenal," Yale coach Siedlecki said of the game
played before 52,313. ....
