Arch-i-ma-tecture!
Hey, Need opinions again!
OK, so De and I are getting hitched, but before we do we want our own place...... how we can afford it is a different question, which I didnt ask so mind yer business.......!!
Soooooooooo......
We have found several blocks of land of around 40 acres that range from $120,000 to about $170,000. Of course we want the cheapest we can!
There is a $25,000 government payment fingy for first home owner who build a new house!
We need a big friggin house as I will have 3 children as of March and De already has 3, she also sugested she would like another...... DUDE!!!!!!!
Thats 6 possibly 7 children running around the house, hence the 7 bedroom house as seen below:
Hey, I designed it with SFA tools cept some basic photo shop fing-o, so shuup!
Yes, it is MY design after much discussion with De as to what we wanted.
Problem is I know bugger all about architecture.... in fact I dont even know how to spell it!
The picture isnt exactly to scale either, but I did my best based on looking hard at it! HA!
Oh I should mention what materials we are going to use.
STRAW BALES!!
Yes, thats right. Just dont huff and puff too hard!
So the walls will end up being about a meter thick, its GREAT sound proofing and insulation!
No, it wont be just straw on the inside and out, that would be just silly... It will be rendered.
The foundation will be a cement slab.
The frame of the house will either be steel or wood, not sure yet.
The roof will be COVERED in solar pannels which we will also be making ourselves. We will have enough home made solar panels, wind turbines and even a water turbine to power the entire house and stay off the grid altogether. They are actually fairly cheap to make.
Its still in the planning phase, so if anyone has any ideas, feel free! :-)
The plan is also available in a .png file down below so you can down load it and move it about yourself if ya want.
EDIT: the photo up there looks shit, so I have uploaded it as well below:

DUDE--YOU ARE KILLING ME!!! I am laughing so hard I can barely sit in the chair! God, you are always funny but shit man! Sounds like you have a plan..though another kid.. omg .. if you have the patience and the funds,, whatever! :) You did an ok job on the layout of the house though.. god its big! Straw huh? hahaha.. Oh, and seeing as to how I was married into construction for 17 yrs, I say steel.. the best is steel. When it is hot or cold, steel works the best. A metal roof is the most popular thing here in texas becuz of the heat.
Oh man, LMAO !!
