Seems I am not a great blogger…yet. Request for garage variance was turned down. Kind of an uncomfortable situation for all involved. I really believe the Village let us and our neighbors down on this issue. Anyway, its done. Changes to garage are almost complete. It will conform with code. Whether it looks better??? House is done. Landscaping is being completed which will include the garden roof, which we are excited about. Thanks for your interest and comments.
Matt

Was the grage issue resolved? When will the house be completed? It is looking really great!

Thanks for your comments. Not sure yet what the stimulus package does for this type of home. I do know that tax credits for the solar panels and the geo thermal system were made more favorable.

I plan to share all the numbers, just have not had the time. The pay back is long on some of the stuff we are doing. Of course I will know more once the house is running. Also, I hope people will view the CO2 savings as having value beyond the dollars spent.

I have heard a lot of talk about finally doing something about energy, but have not heard of actual programs.

It sounds like your project ROI will be fairly long-term for the payback. Are you not sharing the cost analysis you are doing because you do not want to scare us? ;-) Are you doing an ROI calculation on the alternatives your are evaluating?

Am I asking too many questions?

I agree with Judy, you should put some pictures of your house up to show its progress as it is a very interesting looking house. I look forward to reading about your progress. Good luck with it!

The house is looking beautiful. Why did you use aluminum siding rather than cement fiberboard?

It is going to look lovely. Why did you choose aluminum siding over cement fiberboard?

Thank you for sharing how you came to start this project and how you are going about it. (I look forward to understanding why the windows don’t seem to match).
