Sweet! Can't wait to see pics of the house installed!
I like the use of the large rocks as retaining walls in this pic:

It impressed me as well! It looks so much better than what I pictured in my head. The house will arrive tomorrow at 4PM, and it will be set in place Wednesday morning! Pictures and video will follow!

It Has Arrived
Alright, it has arrived! Funny how it doesn't look like much as is. Went in to see the LR, the second floor is in frame on top of both 'boxes', and the full shed dorm is on a seperate trailer.
House Is Here
Crane will be here at 7AM....... hopefully I will too!

thanks for the pics. Do you mind if I ask which company you used to build the house? It's along the lines of what we want and we've found a nice lot. I can't believe we're thinking of doing it after swearing we wouldn't.
Anyhow, congrats on the progress. That alone is amazing considering how crapy the weather has been.
Sweet! Waiting to see some pictures of it all being put back together!

It's Up
Holy crap I can't believe it but It is up! The crew started at 6:30Am (much to my dismay), and they just dropped in the last dormer about a half hour ago. What a process to watch, and the monster crane they had! Took about two hundred pictures and am going to make a slide show tomorrow. The only thing that blows is that I have to work tonight....BOOOOOO!
Needed to share this great news!

Are you building the cabinets and steps and interior stuff?

I'm curious what the cost savings is going 'manufactured' compared to having a local contractor building the identical structure?

The cabinets and stairs came with the house. I picked out the design, wood, and the like as they did have a lot to choose from.

Guess who's computer died today! That's right, mine! I'm using my computer at work right now, so the slide show will be delayed.

Great question, When I have more time I will explain my process and how/why I chose this path.

My other question beyond cost for manufactured vs having a local contractor build it....
I'm trying to figure out windows. Which side of the house faces south?

The back of the house faces south. The east side of the house has two sliding glass doors off of the LV and the DR that will lead to a deck, 28 x 20. That will be my HQ's for PDW.
