What does ur dream house look like?

Answer 1

Huge kitchen overlooking a lake and maybe some big hills or mountains. Lots of land and soaring trees, large but comfortable rooms, a fabulous library. A room for art projects and a room to kick back with the kids and make a mess--like a huge finished basement.

No neighbors and lots of wildlife, but still not too far from town. Quiet all the time and very private. Room for lots of friends and family.

Answer 2

It's a passive solar house with a concrete slab foundation colored terra cotta. Exterior wall construction is 2x6 studs with Hardie Panel concrete siding outside and 5/8 fire rated drywall inside. Thus it is naturally vermin and insect proof, and will never need maintenance on the exterior finish.

Interior walls 2x4 studs with 5/8 fire rated drywall. Soil and drains in the slab where necessary, but all water feeds and wiring will be in the walls.

The floor slab will contain 4 loops of 3/4" PEX tubing for winter heating and summer cooling, and the south roof overhangs will be sized to keep shady in summer, but sunny in winter. There will be a utility room with two gas water heaters, one to heat domestic water and one to heat the floor slab. This will have a concrete block wall in common with the kitchen, and the kitchen will have both a 24" gas range and a wood cookstove with a water jacket.

That way if I am using the wood cookstove to cook and heat in winter, it can also supply hot water for the tubing in the floor, thus adding heat to the bedrooms and bathrooms while the stove warms the living room, dining room, and kitchen directly.

The south facing rooms will have large windows and French doors for solar warmth, all with insulating curtains for winter nights.

All of this can be built very economically if you do your own contracting. And it will use very little electricity and only a modest amount of gas. Summer cooling will be based on running cool water through the floor tubing and using exhaust fans to keep the air circulated. Vents low down on the north side will admit cool air from under the shrubbery. This should give enough cooling for all but the hottest days, for which time there will be window air conditioning in the bedrooms and my study.

As I am expecting to be in a wheelchair before I die, the whole thing will be on one level and I have worked out numerous conveniences including a wheelchair accessible laundry room and dressing area.

I will have a large study for my 100,000+ volume personal library, and it will have a fireplace and large outside windows so I can sit on a snowy day by the fire and watch it snow, with my doggie on my lap.

I have found the land for this, and am planning to be dried in in two years and finished in three. Then I plan to retire and sit by the fire and write my memoirs.
