Walls are up. Since it is a walk-out basement rear of the house will be traditional footings with 2x6 walls.

Trees are cleared. Hole is dug. Drain pipes and gravels are in. Walls corners are set. Install should happen today !!!! Wish I was closer so I could video. Probably will take a trip down this weekend to check it out.

I have a poured concrete walls in my current house which is 4 years old. I am not impressed. They have cracks all over the place. Superior walls are manufactured inside in a controlled enviroment and are custom made for your design. They are insulated and already have the studs in place which...

Sloped lot. Perfect for a walk out basement. Three sides Superior walls. One side conventional 2x6 framed. A lot of the lakefront houses built this way.

House will be built on Lake Gaston on the NC side.

Having a home build in North Carolina. Builder submitted order to Superior Walls and is waiting for a delivery date. I am hoping for the best but I am expecting bad news like several months. Anybody order your walls from them recently and how long was the wait?

It's a city water line.....

How should I seal this up? Lots of rain here in the northeast. Had a monsoon the other night and after 1.5 years in my new house found a puddle in the basement. I think it is coming from here. Looks like two PVC pipes with the water line in the middle. Pretty sure in between the concrete and the...

My current boat is 84" wide and the opening is 94" since you loose some inches due to trim. I can pull the boat out and put it back in while attached to the F-150 supercrew. It is still like threading a needle. You need to be perfectly straight. I can tell you 1" is not enough even pushing or...

Not if you plan on putting a boat in the garage. A 8' door greatly reduces your choices. Very few boats will fit through a 8' opening which isn't a full 8'. Framing is fine on my garage. Inspectors are VERY **** around here.
