The green zip board wall sheathing with all joints taped and sealed provides for an water resistant and air tight thermal envelope. House wrap just doesn't do the job by the time you pierce it with thousands of nails. The zip board coating seals to the nail shanks. Duorock (cement board) was used for the stucco substrate for durability and impact resistance.

Foam insulated exterior walls and roof decking provide an air tight, quiet, and extremely energy efficient thermal envelope.
We use green Zipwall structural sheathing to create a water resistive, air tight, and highly energy efficient thermal envelope structure. All joints are sealed with zip wall tape. This system is far superior to house wrap which doesn't stop water and air infiltration very well once you punch thousands of nail holes in it when installing the siding. The green Zipwall coating seals to the nail shanks.
Bo and JP Install the peal & seal sub roof which keeps the roof water tight if a shingle gets damaged during a hurricane. It also qualifies the home for an insurance discount.
Becca and Lacy taking a kissy break.
Kurt operates the vibratory screed while Roy and BT pull mud behind him. Brian sets up the bull float to the left while Chief operates the vibrator to consolidate the concrete in the block cavities. Roy finishes the surface with a rotary trowel. Nice view from the garage floor. There will be 3 garage doors along the back wall to serve as flood through vents in case of a storm surge. No blow out walls needed.
Roy uses a vibrator to consolidate the concrete around the garage door recesses. This keeps blowing rain from coming in under the garage doors.
BT finishes around the J bolts while Roy and Curt rotary trowel the slab
Roy measures the footings while Brian handles the concrete pump hose. The deep foundation footings are designed to prevent undermining by flood waters.
