Hoping to build a contemporary ourselves this year. Much like yours with butterfly standing seam shed roof et al... Getting our second version of the plans together after the first needed to be revised down due to budget... Got to your blog thru looking at rain-walls for exterior finishes. Something that suits the design style that's for sure. When you have a chance would be interested in seeing some additional 'detail' photos esp inside/outside corners and around doors/windows. Not much info on gutters/downspouts, but would be interested in anything you have to offer. Suspect that's a major consideration in your climate!!! vr Mark Mike,

Only reason I ask is that you're posting anonymously so I'd like to make sure you're not from Ecoclad. I've had that happen a few times already on this blog. Thanks...

I know they have had huge demand for this new product but they did come show us samples and we chose from that. I've used Prodema & Parklex on a couple others and have had delam and water wicking problems in the Northwest weather. The project looks great, I hope you don't have any issues with the cladding.

I'm not spending anywhere close to that amount). Granted, "for sale" does not equal "sold for", but just to be rubbing shoulders with that price range makes me feel pretty confident long-term.

I think this is probably the single most interesting blog I've ever read. I do have one question, would you expect to be able to get your full investment back if you were to ever sell this house? My impression was that you have no intention of ever selling this house, but just curious how you would expect that to work out if you ever did.
