roermo, Very eclectic! Not everyone would have the artistic fortitude to put hip and gable roofs side by side.
Go for it.

bones, The lawn looks so perfect it looks like it was done in Photoshop or other photo editor.

Patrick.It's a real picture from Wick buildings flyer.They don't build in Maryland so I got a local co. in Delaware to duplicate it from the flyer.It's not built yet,gave deposit,have permit but still waiting for county red tape for final approval.I now see why many folks don't apply for permits.Such a backward process.

GOOD GOD!!! What a place!!!
Guess if you can swing a place like that then saving some snow from a previous winter is nothing!
Nice spread Pat!!

Fish Guy, Yeah, We have three heat pumps. The two largest are for chilling the roof so we can retain snow for the aesthetics. I realized that the south side was just too sunny and the expense would be prohibitive but the north side isn't that big of a challenge. (Just going along with your gag.)
I'm not claiming the house isn't big but it isn't really as big as it may look. The part nearest the three roll up doors is sitting on a 57x48 ft rectangular slab plus a triangle on the far end where it adjoins the actual house, about 3000 sq ft. The ground floor of the house part is only about 2000 sqft not counting covered or enclosed porches.
There is a second floor to the shop part which is reduced in size due to roof line. I put walls where the 12:12 pitch ceiling came to within 5'6" of the floor. At 6'2" my shoulder hits a wall before my head hits the ceiling.
The whole shop/shed/garage thingy is an open span steel bld with 12 ft walls and a 12:12 pitch roof. It is typical steel bld construction with engineered steel trusses and all the other "red iron" from Miracle Steel. It is a 24x36 open span steel bld with I beam columns. The 3:12 pitch 21x48 shed roof is attached at 12 ft height on the south side. It all has 2x6 purlins on 2 ft centers setting in steel pockets.
Interiior walls are not load bearing, just cosmetic. The roof uses 2x8 on 2 ft centers.
I had contractors to help and it took me about 3 years to get enough done to move in. See Oklahoma Farmhouse thread at countrybynet.com

Pat forgot to mention that he carries a GPS with him at all times so he does not get lost.

Roger, I did modify my plan from the original a bit, but here is where I bought the plans from. The builder said they worked out great, even the roof trusses worked fine, which apparently they sometimes don't!

Egon, actually I have been moved in long enough to pretty well find my way around most of the frequently traversed areas without the GPS. I'm not quite so familiar with some of my wife's areas and when she decorated for Halloween and lit many areas with dim little plastic Jack O Lanterns I had to be careful. Luckily there are lots of intercom stations and I can ask for help.
