...about all the underground or earth sheltered type comments... didn't anyone notice the "on grade" foundations or the slab on grade floor. If this project is to be earth sheltered it will be buried in dirt after the exterior and any other load bearing walls have cured sufficiently.
There is a wide variety of degrees of earth cover in common use ranging from little or no berming to virtually complete coverage.
If anyone is interested in acquiring a fair library of books about earth sheltered construction, PM me as I have a fair selection left which are surplus to my needs since I went with a walkout basement with part of the ground floor in ICF's.
MY house project is chronicled at the sister site in the Home Building section.
