Twenty years ago, a friend of ours built his home with ICF construction, and the more research we did over the years, the more we were convinced that we wanted to build our dream home using ICF. We chose to build with ICF walls for many reasons. Why we chose Fox Blocks wall system for our DIY Dream Home Build Project Horizontal and vertical rebar is inserted, windows and doors are framed out using foam “Bucks” and then the concrete is poured into the walls. When stacking the seams must be alternated and blocks clipped together according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. They are lightweight making them really easy to work with! Because they’re made of foam they are also really easy to cut. The blocks can be used to build basement walls, second-story walls, commercial buildings, churches, schools, even in-ground swimming pools (that’s on our to-do list) …you name it, the possibilities are endless! They look a lot like a large lego block and you just stack them together. Each stud is 8” on center instead of 16” on center like typical lumber construction. The blocks have just over 2” of foam on both the interior and exterior with a 1.5” webbing that runs through it and makes up the stud as well as a slot to place any needed horizontal rebar. Our home’s blueprints called for 8” walls in the basement and 6” walls on the main level. The blocks come in many shapes giving you unlimited design options. Fox Blocks ICF blocks are a double insulated, reinforced, concrete wall system that stacks and clips together and is then filled with rebar and concrete giving you the strongest most sustainable wall system available. What are “ Fox Blocks” and what does “ICF” stand for? Today I’m going into detail about ICF wall systems and why we chose to build our DIY Dream Home with Fox Blocks ICF and answer some common FAQs I have been receiving over on Instagram! Ready?! Here we go… I’ve shared how my husband and I always wanted to build our Dream Home together, but I haven’t shared why we chose Fox Blocks ICF ICF instead of building our Dream Home with traditional 2×4 framing.

Companies with good growth prospects are expected to retain some earnings in order to invest in those growth prospects, which translates to a payout ratio of zero to 0.5. Companies with few growth prospects are expected to pay out most of their income in dividends, which typically means a payout ratio between 0.5 and 1.0. A payout ratio greater than one means the company is dipping into savings in order to maintain its dividend - not a healthy situation. A payout ratio of one (1.0) means 100% of the company's income is paid in a dividend. The payout ratio tells us how much of a company's income is paid out in dividends. The current dividend yield is 1.51 standard deviations below the historical average.Īdditionally, the company's dividend payout ratio is 0.16.
