That's going to be so amazing!
You can thank the wife for that one. She wanted a bay window to sit by to read so I took what materials I have on hand and designed it as such, just came out to larger than usual bay windows at 92 inches tall by 75 inches wide.That's going to be so amazing!
Just a thought about the window size. Had a guy locally build a house with huge windows, he had to have them redone, less than a year later. Actually he tore the whole house down and rebuilt. He has more money than I do. The wind was causing them to flex. I'm not sure what size they were and I'm not sure which way your wind blows.
I have thought of that. Problem with a flat framed structure is nowhere for the wind to go except push equally on all windows/walls. Now look at the two buttresses on the side of the house, that creates what I would call truck bed effect, wind fills up the cavity (truck bed) area and any excess wind rolls over it unless you got the tailgate down.
Oh, good I'm glad you took that into consideration. Just wanted to share in case you hadn't.
I went even as far as orientating the house 15° towards the west from due south for more heat in the winter time based on our latitude lines. Radon system will be installed, thermal mass that the winter sun can hit inside the house and that's why it looks like a funnel in the front, gather much light as possible in the winter time.
Good planning makes all of the difference. I'm so looking forward to following your build!
Not my music, but had to watch to the end... that made it funny... t
