The water level should fill up to somewhere between the yellow & red markers. IF the clay liner works properly...

The low area is where I'm building my house, so that will get more dirt after construction.

The higher gound behind the equipment is actually about 1 ft too high, so that dirt will eventually be pushed across to the low spots.

Yeah, I can't wait to landscape to get rid of all of the low areas.

I'm looking at building a house similar to this one: House plan 302-165. 1156 square feet 2 bedroom 2 bathroom with 0 garage stalls

Although I changed the second floor a bit, made a full 8 ft wall on the main portion of the house, and put a 5 ft knee wall on the wings, as I'm not a fan of sloped ceilings as I'm 6'-1".

Here are the plans I made:

I dunno, have been drawing up house plans for over a year now, never satisfied.

I sent a set to the town tax assessor to get an estimate on yearly property taxes. Those plans were for a 1900 sq-ft house, the plans above are for a 1450 sq-ft house without a garage, in case I need to downsize due to the outrageous taxes here in New York. I'd build a detached garage later. And then eventually a nice big barn for my equipment, shop crane, etc...

Here are some pictures at my brothers sawmill, turning my maple logs into boards for kitchen cabinets & trim: http://www.infinity-universe.com/~de...warf/H/Lumber/

I also have ~200 pine & spruce logs to cut into clapboard siding for my house too. All from trees that fell down at my lot from wind. Since I logged 10 acres, the pines have lost their wind breaking deciduous trees, and fall quite easliy when we get winds above 60 MPH.
