    2x4 walls, so I take it this is going to be a single story dwelling then.
    Never try to tell me it can't be done
    When I have to paint I use KBS products

    I was disappointed in seeing those gluelams had it been me the floor would have been precast set in place not some elongated chunks of fireplace material.

    Here's the upper floor of our new house, just went in this week. The precast plates (as they call them) are 7 meters long.

    That thing they are building takes up the whole lot. I guess they don't want a yard. I'm sure they made it as big as the setbacks would allow.
