The block is all closed up, and I must say I'm impressed with the precision of the block work. We measured to double check before ordering the SIP panels. The largest discrepancy was on a 42 foot wall that was 3/8" short. Another wall a 1/4" short and everything else was spot on! I would say that's about as good as it could have been done. Our block master is Virgil Ellison. If you need block let me know and I'll gladly give you his contact information.
