PROLOGUE

The accompanying documents were developed by me for the construction of the dwelling depicted in the drawn documents. The owner contracted directly with those who performed the construction depicted in these documents, which does not include the concrete structure covered in Book One.

DESCRIPTION

Superimposed on that structure is the wood one depicted in this book, which is composed of 8" wood frame walls and columns, a wood beam and wood trusses. The heavily insulated roof is protected by a tough unpenetrated membrane. The heavily insulated walls are protected by stucco. All openings in exterior walls are made with high quality doors and windows.

The interiors are of conventional tile flooring, wood framing and gypsum board, but assembled in occasionally unconventional ways. The plumbing, electrical and mechanical systems are conventional but have some unusual details. All cabinet designs were by the owner.

Like the dwelling, the porch is designed to be tough, low maintenance and long lasting.
