About ICF Living

In the 1990’s I was asked to participate in building a home out of foam blocks. I thought the idea was a little far fetched but, I am always open to new ideas, I agreed to do so. The foam forms (Ice Block) showed up on a truck with a one page install instruction sheet. The forms looked a lot like foam concrete blocks, with holes cut vertically and horizontally through the center of the foam.
