id your lack of knowledge of forestry practices and history should preclude you from commenting on the subject past the point of sharing your personal opinions about the way the forest looks to you. sorry.

I meant to add that a building like the one I proposed can be built very affordably.The benefit is that more of your money stays in the area also. Don't let a builder or designer or architect tell you that timber framing is too expensive or that you can't afford it. Talk to someone that builds timber frames locally!

424now-You could easily build your dream home and even have a little more than the 2000 square feet that you want.A 24' by 32' timber frame home with a full basement gives you 2304 square feet of space. Using local beetlekill lodgepole for the timbers and milling and cutting the joinery locally does several things. It utilizes the vast resource of dead and dying trees in our area before they can burn. AND, it takes that much fiber out of the carbon cycle! It also creates good jobs for local people. Let me say that again, good jobs for locals!
If you wrap the timber frame in structural insulated panels and use some solar, some geothermal perhaps,or a pellet stove that uses locally produced fuel pellets, then you've really got something green going.
Some people will say that structural insulated panels are not as green as say a straw bale and I won't disagree about straw bales as a choice. They do have their place. The point is to enclose and protect the structure. All of a sudden you are building to a possible multi-hundred year standard.Thats easily sustainable!
Sorry if this is out of sequence,I had to take care of some things before I could finish it.

Our local economy is driven by the excesses of the wealthy especially when they build their houses with local builders. This large house is being constructed not just out of town, not just out of state, but outside the United States! Happy Independence Day! or maybe Happy Canada Day! is more appropriate.

It's too bad the builders don't look in the Steamboat phone book for timberframers. It's really much more green to use local timbers and labor.I know there's at least one. It's good to know this house will be built by people from out of the valley. Are they going to ship beetlekill lodgepole logs from the Routt National Forest to Canada for machining? That actually doesn't sound too green.

You two should have been up front , it takes confidence to play with that kind of volume, what they lacked in not actually being Led Zep they made for with confidence. I thought it was really good fun.
