so, first, CONGRATULATIONS for being smart enough to choose icf's,,, still cannot understand why anyone would use anything else,,, IF your contractor's experienced w/icf's, let him go - mix sounds VERY good.

btw, no one knows when concrete cures,,, icf's are a GREAT curing medium since conc gains most of its strength in the 1st 24hrs,,, expect you'll break 2,500 to 3,000 in 24,,, next test period's 7d then 28d,,, wouldn't be surprised to see 5,000psi compressive at 28d.

when 'others' decide to buy insurance, get licensed, & build w/this system, you might want to listen more closely,,, many think placing/finishing/curing conc's easy but that's just my opinion as 1 who's done it.
