Nice to see all the favorable press lately...

We faced the house for full southern exposure. We also flipped the bathroom and kitchen because our view is outstanding on the south side and we wanted the rooms we spend the most time in to be on the view side of the house. We added 2 windows in the kitchen-again for the view. We also flipped the bedroom closet to the other end and put a big window where the closet originally was-again for the view:-). We installed a wrap around deck, a 96" x 96" slider off the front of the house, and a standard sliding door off the bedroom to access the deck on that side. Total construction cost was 48k, but that included all energy star appliances, lighting, fixtures and a lot of extras: Rinnai on demand hot water heater, complete solar pv array, batteries,& inverter, a gravity fed fresh water system including the 1500 gallon cistern and all the excavating to run the lines from 200' up the hill behind the house. We did use a lot of recycled materials in the build, that allowed us to have some nicer finishes than we would normally have been able to afford.
