You mentioned putting the insulation around the edges to prevent heat loss. What about heat loss from the middle of the slab going down into that 60° soil? How does that work or not work? Thanks

Do you insulate under the entire slab or just perimeter and stem wall? Was curious as well, appeared to be drop off behind you, combination crawl and slab or fill to allow for slab through out? Appreciate good basic info at an affordable level.

How would you finish the exterior of a stem wall and does it not need insulation?

Setting aside cost, wouldn't it be beneficial to tie the slab to the stem wall with rebar, ie, have some angled rebar coming out of that bottom course of block and tying into the rebar grid on the slab?

How did you put the anchors in? Didn’t see any wet set into the 4” blocks.

Curious as well as to experience with Superior Wall. In your intro I believe it makes a cameo being installed. Was that a customer one time or you find it to be an effective sub for block or powered foundations when doing full basement.

What if you want the foundation to have a brick facade instead of block?

Why do you need to insulate the perimeter of a monolithic slab? Sounds like a straw man argument to me. Monolithic slabs are extremely formidable against all assailants. I come from Texas. Monolithic slabs are were almost all we knew.
