⚡️ ANOTHER ROUGH-IN COMPLETE! ⚡️
We can officially check FIRST ICF HOUSE off the list!
This one was definitely a little different than our normal rough-ins. We had a 400 amp service to install and dealt with plenty of hard work, a few learning curves, and enough cutting and melting of foam insulation to make us wonder if we had accidentally started a completely different business. 🤣
There was a LOT of:
✂️ Cutting foam
🔥 Melting foam
🔨 Drilling
💸 Replacing drill bits
🤔 Figuring out how we're going to get from Point A to Point B while saying “well… that's different”
We definitely learned a few things along the way. Some were useful. Some were expensive. And some were learned immediately after ruining a drill bit. 😂
The foam and concrete definitely didn't make things boring. There were times we probably removed more foam than we thought was possible before realizing we still had electrical work to do. 🤣
But after a whole lot of work, a few headaches, and probably enough destroyed drill bits to blow whatever budget we had for those things… the rough-in is DONE! 💪⚡️
400 AMP SERVICE ✅
FIRST ICF HOUSE ✅
FOAM EVERYWHERE. Seriously, EVERYWHERE ✅
DRILL BITS MISSING IN ACTION ✅
ROUGH-IN COMPLETE ✅
Would we do another ICF house?
I'm going to say “never say never”… but we're also not exactly standing in line for the next one. 😂
All jokes aside, we're proud of how this one turned out. It was definitely a learning experience and took a ton of hard work from start to finish. Really goes to show that we can handle ANYTHING that gets thrown our way.
Another big project knocked out by Sommer Electrical Service LLC! ⚡️
