Our Future Home

This is a journal of the construction of our home in Marshfield, Maine. The house will be a 1.5 story cape with a full basement. The image you see here is what the house may look like eventually (drawn using Google Sketchup). The view is from the Southwest on a June evening. The vestibule will not be built at this time, nor will the dormer. The main entrance you see on the west, the south is full of windows. The north side will actually have no windows whatsoever. We are definitely in a heating climate here in Maine, and our design reflects that with window placement, the compact footprint, and R-40 walls, courtesy of 8.5 inches of Styrofoam in our ICF (Insulated Concrete Form) blocks.

Check back here for updates as the construction progresses.
