RE: Building Blocks with Market Friday

in Market Friday3 years ago

Wow, that is pretty impressive. I think you could probably fit my house into the garage of that one! I think they are building a house down the road from my mom and dad using similar techniques. It looked like it anyway when I was driving by the other day. My wife and I would like to build a new house sometime, but land is impossible to find. We actually wouldn't mind something a little smaller than our current 1600 square feet. As long as it had a full basement. This looks like it is going to be really beautiful when completed!

Sort:  

You forget that there is an indoor pool room and three garages, so it makes it look larger than it is. :)

You might be interested in a build like this. If you want, you can take a look at the broad view of it here: https://commonsensehome.com/icf-construction/

Because of where you live, this makes me think you might look into it, if for only the economics of it. I can't believe that in the middle of winter, I went into that house that isn't heated/cooled yet and has a cement floor still - it was actually warm from the passive heat of the sun. It was 15 degrees out. I won't lie. It wasn't cozy, but, I was not cold. That amazed me.

Thanks for stopping by and leaving your comment!

#MarketFriday loves you!

So this is your house or it isn't? It just gave you the bug? Yeah, our current house gets so cold downstairs. I think we are more interested in a ranch next time. As we get older we aren't going to be able to handle all of the stairs! I will definitely check that out! Thanks for the info!

That makes perfect sense with the ranch. The thing about this build is that it doesn't have that cold here, warm there feeling.

As for the house, it was built as a spec which minds don't have to make up yet. So, trying to make things work, with work and play and school... everything has got to line up and it is doing pretty well so far.

Thanks!
