http://sjodindreamhome.blogspot.com/2008/03/pretty-neat-google-sketchups-of-our.html
Friday, March 7, 2008. Pretty neat Google Sketchups of our house in 3D. A guy named Dan who commented on my blog introduced me to Google Sketchup. And we got hooked immediately! You can create 3D renderings of your house or any object you desire, and the best part is that it's free to download! There are even premade 3D sketches of things you can add to your own Sketchup (for example, mid-century modern furniture even! CLICK TO ENLARGE PHOTOS. Posted by Myleen and Jan.

Monday, May 12, 2008. Budget and appraisal being updated, and bathroom dreaming. Sorry, I've decided to update my budget so I took it offline and edited out this post. I'll just leave you with dreamy photos of our beautiful, contemporary Japanese soaking tub that's made of stainless steel. You can get these luxurious tubs at Diamond Spas. Imagine meditating in one these after 8 hours of work! Posted by Myleen and Jan. The swimming pool cost is almost the same price as your land! May 13, 2008 at 11:06 PM.

Sjodin Dream Home: EPA Fugitive List?!? And other things... like India and our house budget updated
http://sjodindreamhome.blogspot.com/2008/12/epa-fugitive-list-and-other-things-like.html
Thursday, December 11, 2008. And other things. like India and our house budget updated. So not only do we have to worry about terrorists, but also eco-fugitives? I saw this on the news and was extremely surprised at the audacity of some people:. Http:/ news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081210/ap on go ot/environmental fugitives. It's unbelievable how people can consciously, nevermind unconsciously, destroy the planet! Good luck to you and your projects! Posted by Myleen and Jan. The meek shall inherit the earth....

Sjodin Dream Home: Updated floorplans and elevations!
http://sjodindreamhome.blogspot.com/2007/10/updated-floorplans-and-elevations.html
Thursday, October 18, 2007. Updated floorplans and elevations! These actually have measurements on them! And by request of my architect, I toned down the colors a bit :-), so it will be more of this dark slate colored concrete (believe it or not, it looks beautiful in reality with the wood and stone accents). Actually, we will not treat or paint the stucco so the concrete will be its natural color. Notice that the green area is how the 2nd story is placed above the first story. The catwalk leads to the 2...

Sjodin Dream Home: Property rights gone wild....
http://sjodindreamhome.blogspot.com/2008/04/property-rights-gone-wild.html
Monday, April 14, 2008. Property rights gone wild. I had to post these hilarious pics of signage we saw while driving around the Garden Oaks area of Houston. This disturbed "patriot" (see flags in background) posted these signs ALL OVER his front yard and let his neighbors and passerby's know EXACTLY what he will not put up with. No, I'm not joking with you. these signs are FOR REAL. And, the real kicker is this sign below (see graphic if you don't understand what "defecate" means. heeheehee). A time-det...

Monday, April 14, 2008. Where's Myleen (and other goodies: LEED-H certification for homes, SIPs weekend, LED lights). I know I've been silent for some time, but for good reason. I am just waiting patiently for the money to hit the bank so we can get this party started! My champagne bottles are still chilling, and I'm waiting for the big day when we can sign our construction loan. Then we saw Ted, who gave us some great information for getting your home LEED-H certified. Theresa). I have pictures for ...

Sjodin Dream Home: Choosing the U-build It Program
http://sjodindreamhome.blogspot.com/2007/07/choosing-u-build-it-program.html
Saturday, July 28, 2007. Choosing the U-build It Program. Yes, but you have plenty of support and information available to you and it's not rocket science. At the minimum, it is at least worth the investigation to see if you want to do it this way. Check out the various owner builder links I have listed and read up on it if you want more details. After researching 3 owner-builder programs, we decided to go with U-Build It. So here is the cost breakdown to join up (in the Austin area, at least). Do not ge...
