Right off the bat, after we poured the concrete slab, the weather turned and frosted. As we saved the slab from freezing using plastic sheets and hay, the wind kicked up and caused the hay to come into direct contact with the slab as it was curing. The hay interacted with the concrete and caused what turned out to be really cool color undulations which add to the home\u2019s character. Now we are intentionally adding this option for future clients who want some extra pizzaz in their concrete floors!<\/p>\n<p>We always love when clients add their personal touches to a home as well, and in this case that personal touch was in the form of a repurposed trash receptacle laundry chute!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>Specs<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Overview:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1978sf SFR &amp;\u00a0 876sf garage<\/li>\n<li>4 bedroom, 2.5 bath SFR<\/li>\n<li>Net Zero Energy<\/li>\n<li>1st floor aging-in-place<\/li>\n<li>Passive solar heating\/cooling design<\/li>\n<li>Insulation: R-29 walls &amp; R-59 ceiling<\/li>\n<li>Air Sealing: 0.18 ACH50<\/li>\n<li>HERS Index: -2<\/li>\n<li>Annual Energy Cost Savings: $2,800<\/li>\n<li>Certifications: DOE Zero Energy Ready Home certified, ENERGY STAR certified, EPA Indoor airPLUS certified, anticipated Built Green 5-star certified<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<br \/><strong><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Mechanical:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ventiliation: Fantech Hero 250 with built in HEPA filter.
