Rich is blowing cellulose insulation into every nook and cranny of the exterior walls to achieve a true R-21 wall. Fiberglass batts just can't fill the wall cavities completely and thus are unable to achieve their rated R-values. Borate is mixed in to kill bugs, too. Installation by CQ Insulation.

Joe Jones from Gulf Power conducts the air leakage testing to determine how air tight the home is. A door fan draws a vacuum on the house. The fan speed is compared with the vacuum to determine the equivalent hole in the home which is the sum total of all the little leaks in the walls and ceilings. Joe said this is definitely a tight home. The duct testing fan is in the lower left hand corner which does the same thing with the AC duct work. I had the electricians and AC technicians seal up every one of their components where they penetrated the drywall. It all paid off.

The duct fan tests the air tightness of the AC ducting system. We passed with an A rating. Learn more about Earth Cents Home air ducting specs.

The breakfast nook had to be enlarged to accommodate the owner's furniture.

Reyes residence

The Reyes' contacted me from Germany where they were stationed in the Air Force. I completed all the design work via the internet. I sent them 3D exterior and interior views showing how their furniture worked within the various rooms. When all the details were worked out we started construction about a month before they transferred to Eglin. This greatly reduced the time they had to spend in an apartment. Their home incorporates all my Storm-Tuff features as well as Earth Cents and Energy Star features. 3 1/2 months from start to finish with a pool. Wow! That's a record for me.

I'm going to go take a nap now. House is 2670 SF, 4BR, 3 bath, with study and living room. This home is built to take hits from hurricanes and keep the owners safe from tornadoes. No reason to evacuate for any storm threat.
