Ok kids,


Here it is, after 5 years of planning, we closed on the construction loan for "Villa Costo Mucho"...


We are excited, but pretty nervous about the amount of money this is going to take, as well as the fact that this is the first house we have ever built... Yes, 1st one.


We are getting lots of help, however, as we are using a service that provides all kinds of help to folks like us...


Here are the highlights...


1. 4800 square feet, 4 bedroom, 4 1/2 bath, single story, 3 1/2 car garage.

2. Sealed attic

3. Insulated Concrete Form (ICF) exterior construction

4. Ground Source Heat Pump (GSHP) with desuperheater

5. Hydronic radiant heating system throughout slab

6. Fiberglass framed windows

7. Clay tile roof

8. Hard wired lighting control system

9. Extensive use of toys... Intercom, automation controller, high voltage relays, etc.

10. Future solar electric and hot water assist



Well, lots of other stuff. But for now... That's my first post... Check back later!!!
