building a house

Re: building a house

easily could make a little pocket change renting this out. Looking good so far!

(and a hell of a spot to throw a nice big party...could just camp out around the area)

I reckon you'll be booked up for a year before you even have to advertise, thanks for keeping us posted, looks great.

It's getting cold but coming along nicely.

We are in fact planning to rent it out a bit once completed....still working on the build part though.

Re: building a house

Are these tubes for water? Why so much of it? Seems like a lot. I know nothing about building homes. Also, what kind of wildlife have you seen so far?

Re: building a house

Those are tubes for the radiant heat. Instead of forced air, the house will be heated from the floor. In another picture you can see a manifold where all the tubes come out of the floor. A tankless water heater will be hooked up to that, which will circulate hot water through the concrete floors throughout the house.

Around here we've seen all kinds of birds, owls, snakes, rodents, lots and LOTS of bugs, fish, bears, fox, coyotes and if even a few mountain lions (very rare to see one though).

Re: building a house

if i may ask, what have you planned on investing all in all? just a rough estimate.
I'd like to compare the costs to what would come up here in europe for such a project. i'm playing with the idea of building a little shack somewhere in the mountains
