where were we?
oh, that's right...
the INSIDE of
this house
that my husband built:
but first, just a few more of the exterior...

the study.
pictures cannot do this room justice.
it is spectacular in person.
and the view is breathtaking...

the music room.
just a few interesting things about this home:
it is extremely energy efficient,
due to R-50 insulation
(a 250% increase over standard construction),
a geo-thermal heat system,
and all concrete construction.
a majority of the materials used are recycled.
low VOC products were used.
lightweight concrete roof tiles mimic the look of slate.
the home features over 5 miles of low voltage,
home automation and
security wiring!
the stucco mix was imported from france.
the tiles on the main floor were handmade
at a farm in mexico,
and if you look closely,
you can see cat,
dog,and chicken footprints
imprinted on the tiles.
i told my husband that he could also
build a house just like this for me, but
apparently houses like this are
really expensive to build.
hmmm...who knew?
