OK time for an update. We've been living with this for over a year now and have no complaints. The spray foam insulation has been great. The AC/Heat will come on, run a few minutes, then shut off for up to 30 minutes. The rain catch system works great and just 3 weeks ago I installed another 1000 gallon tank- it filled up in one rain! Loving the place...



View from the front porch.

Great to hear,

On the Spray Foam, did you go all closed cell of combination of closed cell & 2nd coat of open cell? I have quotes on my place and the Closed cell is better but you sure PAY $$ for it!

The extra water tanks is that rain water for drinking or garden/fire protection?

On the ceiling we went closed cell, in the walls we went closed and 2nd coat of open cell.
The extra tank supplies the bunkhouse right now- it's filtered through a 3 stage system. My "this-year" plans are to tie them into a larger system and add some larger, underground tanks to use for irrigation. We have a well but the water is salty, plans are to mix the rainwater and well water to make it taste ok.

That was what I was thinking to do on mine if I can save the $ up...
