Good luck

Travis ---- we began by saying we wanted 4500 to 5000 feet... with the changes it became 8000 feet!!! We then told the architect -- who had decided on his own to just push thing this way and that -- that he had to "find" a way to take at least 1500 to 2000 feet OUT of this project!! A) there's only the two of us most of the time B) we can't afford to build 8000 feet with all the cost of the shop and everything else C) we're not really very fancy people and thought the whole idea of living in a McMansion was just ostentatious and certainly not "us" -- having said that -- I'd still build smaller than what we are - but there becomes a point in the "I want list" and what it takes to get there - and what the area "demands" due to dirt costs etc.
Yes -- similar to Jackson Hole -- but I think Sun Valley is much friendlier and a lot less touristy and we tend to attract people that own here (second houses etc) over the come for the weekend/week crowd. The airport and services here SUCK... and that holds down the fly in and out folks. It takes some effort to get here.
