Thanks for stopping by. <BR/><BR/>Sorry, no, I never want to build a house again! haha--I thought I would be good at it, but apparently, I have a hard time making decisions about things until I can see them in three dimensions right in front of me. And then it is a little bit late to be changing my mind, although I've been known to do it anyway.<BR/><BR/>As far as inslulation--we've got something called T-111 siding up, then 2.5 inches of foam (thick, board-like stuff), a layer of plywood on that, and then cedar siding. It sits on a concrete pad and they've used lots of caulk, so the whole thing is pretty tight. We've got a soapstone wood-burning fireplace (which is so pretty it will merit a posting when it goes in) and some back up electric wall heaters so that we can leave for more than 24 hrs at a time in winter. <BR/>And I'm hoping all that makes for a cozy house. We'll see!Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11755326634543377119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1560799310228475757.post-30997987545157658612008-09-27T09:43:00.000-04:002008-09-27T09:43:00.000-04:00Meg,First, thanks so much for your very kind comme...Meg,<BR/><BR/>First, thanks so much for your very kind comment on my blog yesterday. Much appreciated.<BR/><BR/>Now, about your house... When you finish yours can you make one for my brood and me? :) Kidding... no, it's wonderful. I am in awe. I'm also curious how you will handle the issue of insulation. Ohio winters aren't exactly balmy. I really look forward to following your progress...Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16816975302578794747noreply@blogger.com
