Sadly, a lot of people that follow threads do not post comments. You can see how many people look at it and that's a good indication of how you're doing, but unless there is a problem, or somebody notices something out of the ordinary, they just don't say anything.

I've been building for 13 months now. Got my shop done. Should be in the house in the next couple weeks. It's a long arduous road. Hope things start going better for you!!!!

That brings us pretty much up to date, except for the retaining wall and deck pilings, still working on that.hope you have enjoyed my "little" project, and I'll keep up the posts after the stucco and siding accents are done. BTW, I'm hiring out the stucco. so far the house cost is sitting at 180K, all in.

Is the poured concrete construction common up there? I've seen this a lot in Europe but almost never in the US.

KennyG, no it is not common to go all the way , most stop at the basement level. I just thought that it made sense to build something that will be here long after I'm gone.
Eddie, the first floor and basement are 900sqft each, and the loft area is 600sqft. Not to big, but enough to be comfortable. Hydronic heat on all floors, nat gas boiler and two nat gas fireplaces. Walls work out to R60, Attic is R56.
Two spare bdrms , mech rm, theatre area, 3/4 bath and craft rm in the basement, 10 X 12 cold room off mech rm, main floor is kitchen, dining, living rm, pantry and entry off kitchen, 1/2 bath. Loft area is master suite 16 X 20, walk in closet 6 X 16, 4 pc Bath is 6 X 20.
