    Well here is the foundation! You would think I was building a 12 story building. Had to dig into the side of the hill so I could walk in on ground level. Next step is getting the 55 gal barrels lined up inside to store rainwater from the big collection tank and help with temperature fluctuation inside. I will have lots of questions as things progress.
    The house will be glass sides (all operable windows) polysomething for the roofs. This is going to be a saw tooth design 14' x 24', 2 swamp coolers and benches along both long sides. crushed limestone for the floor. I will keep you posted.

    Wonderful and impressive.

    Cathy, I edited your post to combine the 2 into one. I hope that was OK.
