Pouring The Basement Foundation Walls | VLOG 009
Channel: GreenShortz + GreenHouse
Date: 2017-02-21

Over the span of three days the concrete basement walls of our green home are formed, poured and de-formed. The half-basement was added to our 1800 square foot plan to work with the slope of the lot, allowing us to gain about 600 square feet while staying within our small footprint. 

Concrete is a resource intensive material and the most expensive single line item in our budget. But, the cost per square foot of the basement was still a bargain. While this wasn't the greenest component of our home, using concrete wisely and efficiently is part of making a home affordable and sustainable.
