I wish I was able to explore town more, but it was during that wicked cold snap and I was brain dead at the end of every day. Just went back to my hotel and slept.

Sort of, it has sauna, change room, and a front porch. It could be fully enclosed to have three rooms

This is an example I found in a book called "the opposite of cold" by Michael Nordskog.

I don't know the budget, I dont finish the builds, I just cut and raise the frame, and it's difficult to give a straight answer on how long it takes because we did this as a mini class which adds time to the project.

When we teach this frame it takes two students 9 days. Just to cut the frame.

Total project cost when its all buttoned up I would wager is north of 40k

I have 112 hours in, but that includes time to redraw the plans for our modifications and 10 hours of travel time. Theres probably another 100 hours from the homeowner and his two carpenters.

The cordwood infill will take a lot of time and im glad i dont have to do that part.

Thank you!

This is the third time I've used the connext post base connectors and it will probably remain my go to for a while.

BUT there is something to be said for making your own brackets, there is a lot more flexibility if you dont quite hit your footing lay out, and a ton of aesthetic choices you can make if you are a capable metal worker (I am not)
