We now have the second set of proofs for the house. The link now has a door to the south which will provide an airlock for people to come in and shake off the frozen north before entering the main house. Still no roof on the link, though.
The elevator still is not located where I want it--might be an issue with supporting the first floor if it ends up there. I guess I'll need to chat with the designers about it.
I'm also still not satisfied with the location of the dumb waiter--can't seem to find a place I like that will work both upstairs and downstairs, though.
I am still looking into in-floor heating with forced-air circulation for fresh air and cooled air in the summer. This house might not need AC for temperature control in the summer, but humidity control will probably be necessary.
I have been in touch with an outfit that builds basements using styrofoam-block concrete forms which results in a concrete wall with styrofoam insulation both inside and out.
More to come...
