Sisters Remodel Pond

This is a pond we are installing in Sisters Oregon. The pond is waterproofed with a 36 mil poly liner factory sealed to prevent leakage. We will now install filter fabric over the top to help prevent punctures in areas where dogs and deer will go to the water to drink.

Reclaimed trim

Reclaimed lumber is being used as exterior window trim. Note the multiple layers of waterproofing before stucco application.

Stucco Waterproofing

This image shows the application of lathe and waterproofing under stucco application. This home is going to receive traditional three layer stucco consisting of scratch, brown, and finish coats. The final coat will be 100% acrylic.

ICF Foundation Drain and Waterproofing

This picture shows installation of EZ flow drainage system around the perimeter of a recent custom home in Sisters, Oregon. After the walls are poured full of concrete, primer is applied to the footing and ICF wall. Next, Blueskin waterproofing is fixed to the wall and down the footing. The drainage pipe consists of 4 inch perforated pipe surrounded by styrofoam peanuts contained by plastic mesh. This product provides a path of least resistance for excess water to drain away from the home. A bed of drain rock around the pipe helps with water drainage to the foundation drain.

Columbia St. Green Home

Energy trusses are now installed and roof framing is progressing. Note the asymmetric roof lines designed to accommodate solar equipment on the south facing roof. Three foot overhangs help to shade summer sun from southern exposure windows. Lower sun angles in the winter will provide exceptional solar heat gain when it is most needed. Radiant concrete slab in the living space provides thermal mass to store heat and assist the gas fired boiler.

Columbia St. High Performance Home

This is our current green building project at 824 NW Columbia St. in Bend, Oregon. The home incorporates 2x8 staggered stud advanced framing with all FSC certified kiln dried lumber. This type of construction produces better R-values than typical stud framing at a reasonable cost. The home is now ready for raised heel energy trusses, which also help with insulation by reducing compression of roof insulation at the exterior wall.
The Columbia St. home will incorporate blown-in cellulose insulation, solar hot water, solar space heating, and solar electric. In addition, home design and site orientation were designed to optimize passive solar. This helps to keep the home cool in the summer and warm in the winter. The home will be certified through Earth Advantage and the High Performance Home program through the Oregon Department of Energy.
Keep checking back for more updates as construction progresses.
