A couple of years ago he found a book in the library (sorry I don't have the title available right now but it was put out by Fine Homebuilding Magazine) that had the basic plans for the house we're building. (We ended up "buying" it from the library: read, payed the replacement cost!)He did enough research, and consulted with enough experienced builders, that he was able to modify the design to meet our needs. And, yes, the 2 x 6 construction, is a need here in the land of 40 below. Yes, that's what he "does" these days, and that's why I love him. :)Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07879771115420282834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10304963.post-1129341159537586822005-10-14T20:52:00.000-05:002005-10-14T20:52:00.000-05:00Is this what the Hermit does, or did he just pick ...Is this what the Hermit does, or did he just pick up a Home Depot book and start building?

I guess the extra insulation is important up there.R.Powershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04905593499136090763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10304963.post-1129309827948917592005-10-14T12:10:00.000-05:002005-10-14T12:10:00.000-05:00I love the light in the cat's photo.

I'm living in the bush through you, Deb, until I can manage it in our family.
