Our first part of the house was tiny: 16' x 18' and went up in sections, to 1.5 stories over Labor Day weekend in 1983. The 2nd part was bigger: 20' x 24' and went up much slower to 2 full stories. That worked for us until the last few years. Stairs were getting to be a big problem.
So our new addition is all 1 story, moving the 2nd floor to ground level.
I guess, being a straw bale house, I thought yours was to be all 1 story....
It's fascinating watching yours go up!
Heat left last night, the house is cool this morning, finally. Now I can get back to work!
Glad you got a break in the heat; us too!
Cool to hear the story of your place :)
