Norm:
It appears as if gotomeeting works connecting to a mac same as ibm computers.
If you'd like to try it, I can send you a meeting invitation via skype once we chat and do an online meeting where I can show you the inside of the building.

gotomeeting is a great program and we can also talk over that connection as well, as gotomeeting now has VoIP (voice over Internet provider) in the newest version. We just use the regular headsets we use during skype communications.

What time zone are you in?
Never mind, I see you're in Pacific time zone, so we're three hours different.....

Jim, that sounds like a neat program. I'd like to try that, but I'm in the 1920's time zone here, just got rid of the hand crank phones a little while ago. :D

I'm glad to see the interest in this subject, I think something very good will come of it.

I've been doodling. Someone was talking about a 20x20 camp and I had sketched one with a 12/12 pitch. I then started putting walls out 8' and wrapped a hip roof around it. It kicked the original 400 sf up to 1296 if all of that was interior rooms. It would probably work better if it had 10' walls in the core building, especially if a loft was up there.


If the original cottage is to be a possible core it means the walls will at some point be interior walls, or some of them will. A T-111 or plywood and batten or board and batten exterior might make that easier than something like clapboard.

Bump.

A coworker of mine remarked on the Lowes cottage. Something like $30,000. I'm guessing that is just materials? :o

I'm in the middle of building a "12x24 storage shed" right now, next to where we are planning to build our retirement home at the lake.
