Thinking of building a home. Am I crazy?

[Oxford]

Nice Earthship house. How did they get George Bush to do the voice-over? 🙂

I wonder if there are any cool prefabs.

Spoke to a builder today. He said what I wanted would run about $230 per sq. ft. not including land. That makes a 2800 sqft home around $600K. Dunno what a few acres in Coronado Hills would be. Then there is water and electrical, permits and plans… (he mentioned maybe $200 per sqft is possible).

…sigh

well, not giving up yet.

Here are the designs that got me going

The problem is that new houses have to withstand an 8.0 earthquake…thus the reason the mud houses don’t fly.
