12ft. X 16 ft., LP Smartside, SIPs Construction, insulated windows. $6,000.00 USD! 100 man hours to build from the ground up. Painting took another 48 hours for all the trim and drying time.

Slow on the updates...busy with tons of work! The mini split is awesome, it will keep the temp at 64 degrees inside when it was 100+ outside and the power bill is still under $45/month during the summer! :)

The oriental rug is a 3.6X11.4 meter Mahal runner and the gray rug by the bed is a 2.5 inch thick New Zealand sheep skin.
