Wait....it's late here and I'm on a lot of cold medicine. haha. I just realized what ICF is. I assume Insulated Concrete Forms? The first few feet of the basement walls will be that, but since the "basement" will be fully out of the ground on all sides, it'll just be stick-built from there, instead of doing a full 9' of the concrete walls. Does that make sense?
We didn't want the basement in the ground because we hear that ground water is plentiful where we're building and we hate water issues.
I understand it...but, it doesn't make sense
How is a basement a basement if it's the first floor?
