We are about to start building one of Florida's most hurricane proof
house using: www.foxblocks.com which are ICF Blocks 2 layers of
insulation (outside and inside) of the 6" thick with poured concrete
walls with rebar.
Follow along with following weeks of construction as they happen.
I am happy to report that it appears that they won't be developing
the area behind my house and it will be kept all natural.
The fence is 6' tall barbed wire that goes all around over 1,000
acres of land. Barbed wire will hurt the animals trying to cross
through, under or over the fence. Barbed wire is terrible thing to
put up in the woods. I like the idea of keeping people out from a
natural preserve, but don't hurt the animals in the process.

Building a hurricane proof house.

Once the foundation has been packed down tightly, or dried hard, we
can begin to build the building. Purpose. Foundations provide the
structure's stability from the ground: To distribute the weight of
the structure over a large area in order to avoid overloading the
underlying soil (possibly causing unequal settlement).

Week 5: Day 1: 02/16/2021: Fence installation - Building hurricane
proof ICF house in Frostproof FL.
Week 5: Fencing nearly completed
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bir55ScY4o8
Fence company arrived to put up more fencing. This isn't costing me
anything for the fence (complete left side and complete back) to be
installed because it is not my fence. The right side is a drainage
ditch so I might not put one up on the right side. I will be putting
up a fence in front with a solar powered remote-control gate in the
driveway with an intercom system to the house.
The back 90' of the lot was left untouched. We left all trees,
bushes and plants. This 90’ is for drainage if needed and it is
about 9' below the foundation of the ICF house. Great drainage. Will
never flood.
This Video starts two (2) lots over to the left from my lot. I
walk to the back, then over to the right - towards my lot.
The fence on the left side of my lot starts at 6 minutes 25 seconds
into the video. I walk the left side of my lot towards the front and
you can see the drainage area is about 9’.
This is going to be an ICF block home construction. Using
Foxblocks. If you want help with your plans, please contact me
(prefer email). Facebook messenger too.

I personally painted the LakeSide signs white. They were water
stained, scratched from the branches that I also cut down from in
front of them - all from 20 years of neglect. No one else would, so
I took it upon myself to paint it white again. I left the letters
since they are custom letters (raised Styrofoam brown letters).
Ready for Termite inspection, treatment. Then the fun stuff
starts. Cement foundation, walls etc…. I will be sleeping in it
once the walls and roof are up until we get windows and doors with
locks. I now have a trail camera, with cell ability (sends images
when motion is detected, and solar battery charger).
Video: 2:35 to 3:40 shows how deep the trench around the back/side
of the house is. Notice the fence is normally 6’ tall except it is

Walking in Florida swamp. Walking in
the deep bush of central/southern Florida.
Will I see Florida Alligators on this
walk?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7twkPflGLJM&t=1s
Walking in Florida swamp. Did I see Florida Alligators? NO.
Walking in the deep bush of central/southern Florida.
Walking northbound heading into a 3,500 acre nature preserve. Lots
of areas to explore, will have to get some knee high waterproof
boots to walk through some of the wetter areas to get to dry land
behind them.
It was in the mid 80's Fahrenheit on 02/26/2021, 02/27/2021,
03/02/2021 and 03/12/2021 for my 4 short walks into the bush of
southern Florida. I went a little further each day or in a different
direction. Kept running into wet areas.
I started at the cul-de-sac each time and didn’t see any alligators
and only saw one very small snake. Did not see any other animals or
birds either though heard birds singing.
There were no
mosquitoes, flies or nats much at all. Some flies in the beginning
of the walk on day 4 while in the very sandy area. It is much
easier to walk in Florida than in northern Minnesota or Wisconsin
that have lots of insects.
In Florida I have worked or lived in six areas around central
Florida and you can walk anytime or anywhere without bugs or insects
bothering you at dusk, nighttime or daytime.
Multiple times I stopped walking when the dirt path turned into a
couple inches of water and it wasn't easy to pass it. I went a
little further or different directions each day.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwRJYeh9aZU
Just installed another trail camera on 02/23/2021. Both are from
www.spypoint.com but this new trail camera is much better than my
original one located near the driveway. This brand new trail camera
has cellular and infrared. It is run by battery that is solar
charged: model: Link-Micro-S-LTE-V.
It automatically sends multiple pictures by cell signal once motion
is detected. It even sends pictures even at night in the dark
because that just happened. It
I just installed this new camera at 1:15pm. It got dark at about
6:30pm. And by 7:14pm it had already taken two pictures of a large
animal of some kind via it’s infrared ability. What kind of animal
is this? Probably a Feral cat.

should be delivered by mid-March. This is my new dream, boating
with my new golden that I will get soon after I move into my newly
built hurricane proof ICF block house.
A friend that goes Kayaking with his golden retriever took some
pictures. My only difference is I would make sure my golden has a
full life-jacket on at all times while on the boat in any water.
