• I love the house. now it just needs some native landscaping done around it.

• Native landscaping is under way! Much of the area west of the house will be planted in native prairie species (seed from the Ion Exchange in NE Iowa). North and west windbreak will be enhanced with native deciduous trees and conifers for privacy, living snow fence, and wind mitigation. These photos were taken in May, which is very early in the growing season at our location. A rain garden populated with native grasses and forbs is functioning nicely at the back of the house. Thanks for the nice comments everyone!

• I'm impressed with all the elegant and economical details, mind sharing one? I'm particularly interested in your plywood ceiling details. How are the panels attached? Did you use splines, tongue and grove edges, metal control joints?

• The maple plywood is glued and secured with brads. It is attached directly on top of drywall, which was painted black to create the sense of depth in the reveals between boards. Thanks for the comments.

• I love your design. Could you give me some idea of a price range should I decide to build a comparable cabin on my property?

• I am interested in your front porch furniture...it looks like there is a chair, and maybe a bench? Is there anyway I can find out more? (materials, manufactuerer, dimensions, etc.?) Thanks

• The porch furniture consists of two Aldo Leopold benches. This is a design by the Iowa-born conservationist built for his own property described in "A Sand County Almanac." We googled "Aldo Leopold Bench", and found plans. We built them and painted them to match the dark brown used on the south dining porch area of the house. We have seen this bench in a number of parks, and at our own natural food coop, but I'm not aware of a manufacturer, or if they are available off the rack.

• Hi - I love this house! what is the translucent material wrapping around the low wall on the second story? I really like how the light can pass through - Thanks

• I don't know if you're still checking the comments. We're trying to persuade our contractor to do a similar shower surface treatment with the corrugated metal. Can you offer any tips on how you secured and waterproofed the panels? Thank you!

• This is the most perfect house...my husband and I have been looking for something like this for the past 10 years. We live in rural upper Michigan and need something like this - WOW!

  Linda Stark 07/30/2010

• I absolutely love your house. Could you let me know the approximate price to build a home similar to this - I live in northern Michigan in the "woods" and have been looking for a design like this for the last 10 years.
