I didn't save the sites I read up on it to send your way but if i were you I would spend some time researching the topic. <BR/><BR/>I would definitely do at least one of the insulation methods, being it either the floor or the walls. Just do some research on the pros/cons of both.Damonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03711532291232682454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1722101138246058771.post-27294961334460774872009-03-11T07:39:00.000-05:002009-03-11T07:39:00.000-05:00Wow...you guys have made some amazing progress!

I am hoping to be able to move into it around April. Should have all of phase II done by the end of 2009. That would be everything but the addition with the roof-top deck that we are hoping to start on at the beginning of 2010. Most of the work is done by my father and myself so that tends to slow things down at times..<BR/><BR/>Do you have an email address? I might need some assistance on the addition and I would love to: a) work with someone from the neighborhood, b) work with someone who had an interest in modern/contemporary design..<BR/><BR/>BTW their is a great MCM house on the corner of Garland and Avondale I am sure you have noticed..

Makes me pretty happy we're starting from the ground up! Ryan wants to know if you still have some of that cat-pee plywood around- we're in the market for some. We can repurpose that, cash money, no questions asked. Or did Habitat for Humanity pick that up too? If so, we'll pick it up at the re-store when we go next time. If we send you a pic of our house, can you draw a balcony on the front for us? And some nice landscaping? We're really excited to see what we can do with the money we probably won't have by the time we're finished. Keep on keepin' on.

I hope...Damon- Great job with the sketchup model! I hope you had fun with it. It really is a good tool to try out options. I do like the way that you fit it into a real photo of the site.<BR/> So, I do have one option that I would suggest for your house. I like the wood mass at the front of the house, because I think it will be a nice contrast to the rest of the elements. But, I'm wondering if you want to lower the top of the mass and add a more transparent railing? Because you approach the house from a lower elevation, the wood form starts to obscure the main mass of house. In elevation, it probably looks just great, but in perspective, I think it could be lowered. Or another option would be to keep the front wall high, but lower the 2 side walls, thus creating a front "plane" wall. <BR/> Just my 2 cents. I'll shut up now.....<BR/> But great job on the sketchup model! <BR/>RoxanneKevin & Roxannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15012518006663275541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1722101138246058771.post-48346033391518190332008-03-19T21:24:00.000-05:002008-03-19T21:24:00.000-05:00Hola:Tengan un afectuoso saludo desde Concepción, ...Hola:<BR/><BR/>Tengan un afectuoso saludo desde Concepción, Chile.<BR/><BR/>Atentamente,<BR/><BR/>Luis Roco C.<BR/>Kiosco Salo ConcepciónKiosco Salo Concepciónhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15525488704538151334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1722101138246058771.post-46201170223506676632008-03-18T12:21:00.000-05:002008-03-18T12:21:00.000-05:00good luck with all that.
