[QUOTE="W. Mark Hellinger, post: 73370, member: 692"] Re: Home building/living suggestions wanted. Ok... our "house" is approx. 350 sq. ft. The walls are 1ft. thick, double off-set 2 x 6 construction, and double insulated. The floor and ceiling are foot thick styraforam insulated. The house is 100% electric. Our monthly electric bill is < $30... even in the depths of winter. I've converted the house to all LED lighting. Our total household lighting power draw is < 100 watts. We bought the place for cash... approx. $24K, including the acre of property it and the 1,200 sq. ft. shop sits on... the shop was constructed similar to the house. Admittedly, our cloths closet is approx. 3ft. across. Admittedly, our "house" only has two rooms, being the bathroom and the rest of the "house". Admittedly, our "house" isn't set-up for entertaining... and there's few if any bragging rights... but: We use our house for eating in, sleeping in, and freshening-up in the morning... and it does all of that very efficently.
