I avoided doing a finances post because my wife didn't want our house cost splashed across the screens of our family and friends, but I figure if the details are buried in a comment only the diehard will find it.:) So here goes. <br /><br />Our house ended up about 2620 finished sq ft (not including utility room & garage). If you include hard costs, GC fee, and WA state 10% sales tax, we ended up at $192 per finished sq ft. Include architectural design, permits, consultants (structural, geotech), and other soft costs, we end up at $225. <br /><br />But what if I wanted to sell tomorrow? Then I'd also want to recover financing and carrying costs (loan fees, interest during construction), landscaping, and blinds. Then we're talking $240 per sq ft. But almost no one includes this last category of costs; people buying existing houses also have loan fees, and sometimes need window coverings, but these aren't reported in the total house price.<br /><br />There's a lot of variation in what people include in per-sq-foot numbers, so I tried to be explicit.<br /><br />Hope that helps!oberonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04406056454446142155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4978076475215292084.post-83938933754589895242011-10-15T23:30:50.957-07:002011-10-15T23:30:50.957-07:00Great work.

Two, we wanted an extendable table; ours can expand to fit around 10 people.oberonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04406056454446142155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4978076475215292084.post-42421980008076326812011-10-09T06:01:27.761-07:002011-10-09T06:01:27.761-07:00Thanks Aseem.

I love the big forward cube it must feel very light inside.<br /><br />Have you considered a circular dining table? It might be a nice transition between the two room axis and open the flow from the stairs to the kitchen a bit. It would also echo your light fixture.stevehttp://quackcom.ca/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4978076475215292084.post-56241574810890402102011-10-05T05:14:51.777-07:002011-10-05T05:14:51.777-07:00Amazing house.
