A most interesting thread! :D
Lots of solid advice and a look into that most important foundation of any building project - motivation!
Glenn: Thanks for the article and the links to the work of Thomas J. Elpel. Wow! Books, workshops, a wilderness adventure school. Looks like a home built industry!

I found it looking for floor spans. It is very interesting although I just skimmed it.
More cool stuff on another of his sites.

Added this stuff here for reference -- too good to not keep track of.
I enjoyed looking through their posting on building the home... I like the rock work :)
I have a few of his books and a dvd he made.
Learn anything useful, Stink?...looks like good stuff.
