The roof is on! Now we can run around in the rain and celebrate!
Confidentially, we already had what might be the biggest rain storm of the season. Without a roof. This house was a swamp. The walls (luckily concrete) steamed every time the sun hit them. We wouldn't have had this issue if the block had gone up as easily as we were promised. Our labor costs and time for the walls were 3 times our estimate.
So, the final vote on AAC, Aerated Autoclaved Concrete is in....thumbs down. It's been more time (extra month) and about $20K extra over stick built. The support was non-existent. We will not build with this product again. We would not recommend this product, Hebel Block, to be used in California.The entire experience was a horror show (suitable for All Hallow's Eve) the guys would rather have done without. None of them wants to touch this product again. Nyet. Never.
