Mae House – MARCH-ing Onwards!

A-MAE-ZING UPDATES!

MARCH-ing onwards!

Construction Updates:

  • For the past three weeks, the hard-working team at IMAC has been preparing for the foundation pour, by putting in place the gravel, vapor barrier, and sand.

  • The Monolithic Pour for Footings and Slab-on-Grade Foundation is planned for next Thursday.

  • A monolithic slab-on-grade is a foundation poured in one continuous process, combining the thickened perimeter footings and the floor slab into a single, seamless concrete unit. A slab-on-grade foundation is a structural concrete floor poured directly onto a prepared ground level, offering cost-effective, termite-resistant, and durable construction.

  • Next step will be framing …. up we go!

Special Thanks:

  • Our continued thanks to Architect, Tom Rakestraw, especially for his design of this monolithic foundation.

  • Shout out to Sean Moore at Steel Builders Inc. for structural steel columns, our first step in going vertical.

  • Big thanks to C.W. Plumbing for their support of our project and vision.

  • C.W. connected us with their supplier, Ferguson, who blew us away with their generous discount for our order of Rough and Finished Plumbing Materials.

Below you will find a few photos of the past four weeks on site. More to come in our monthly construction emails! Thank you for following along and being a part of this A-MAE-ZING journey with us.

February was a fun month at Mae House, and the girls hosted a Valentine’s Day Party with their family and friends. They made beaded bracelets + sprinkled cookies. See pics below!

Love, Carrie, Gina, Hannah and Tanette
