Thanks Jim!
I do have steel framing and asked for concrete board after reading up on the site before designing. My architect ran into sheer strength issues when I asked to use concrete board instead of treated plywood? I guess I rolled over on that fight pretty easy in favor of what he wanted.. or should I say knew how to design. Im happy with my architect and plans tho, Learned your exactly correct about the solar hot water heaters, and grandfathering. Is there any downside to the solar hot water heaters, ie: cold showers on overcast days lol
I did try and design this house as minimal as possible 28x32 square. Im about to drop deposits on making this shell a reality just up late nowadays with a whole new respect for the coordinating a GC has to do.. ha
