We're most likely going to build on a piece of property. I started the thread about living in the country, but thought a house build thread might be good. Seems like there may be one person in the middle of a build and at least one other planning it.

For our build, we're thinking country/rustic/farmhouse style blending, with an open floor plan and a moderate size/price. Some things being considered...

concrete floors

metal roof

jack & jill bath or teen suites

2 car garage, oversized with extra room to one side for workspace.

small concrete drive with gravel drive the remainder

large front porch and back patio

blend of electric and gas (propane) appliances

wood stove as primary heat source

tankless water heaters

electric heat pump

Thoughts and ideas or experience with any of these items?
