Good luck!

So concrete posts spanned by I beams? sounds like a tidy approach. How deep will you put the posts? Overall settlement isnt an issue. Just a couple of things worth bearing in mind. - Settlement will be highier if there is alot of organics (leaves, wood etc) in the soil (the depth of posts should get around this). - If there is rock in the area, make sure that the depth to rock is simular under each footing. Otherwise one side could be on rock and the other on soil and your house will become slanty as the soil settles.

Just catching up on this thread. Love the idea Pete... its like a mini 'grand designs' (tv program). You had an engineer give you any foundation advice? Do you know what you will be building it on (soil rock)? A light weight structure like this will only require a simple strip or pad footing. Mantas' suggestion of using a container as a basement is a good one if you have highly compressible soil over shallow rock.

Yeah...wish I had some photovoltaic panels on the place I am renting, I would have no bills. But it is definately an economic option, the parents have recently installed some panels on their house in the UK. 8 - 10 year pay back apparently.

It just seemed like common sense to me that, being early season, they meant "we will open on this date if there is enough snow to do so." It seems perfectly reasonable to me, for a resort to give an optimistic opening date, bearing in mind that the snow may well arrive early. If they give a later date and the snow arrives early, they may well not be ready to open, customers will be complaining they cant ski and the resort will los

AKA Logitech. Very nice was looking at getting one of these, or the Microsoft equiv.

mmmmmm...snazzy. Are you allowed to divulge the make and model of camera?

Yeah, of course it all adds up Yeah on the day 1 -2 % difference will not make much difference. However saved a bit on my Niseko accomodation by paying it off when the JPY was at a high against the AUD (more luck than judgement). Paid the deposit at 75 JPY - AUD and paid the ballance at 80 JPY

Why, what a smart Chap he is.

Yeah..I enjoyed District 9.

If you are still drinking by the 13 Feb, I may well make an appearance.

Waiting for Doctor results sucks...I feel your pain. Glad everything was tickety boo!

I agree with TB. That is the only course of action. Get eating some beans! (the musical fruit)

I was worried about issues with dexterity of using gloves but after a season of using them I no longer worry about it at all. Same...recent convert. Burton Goretex Mittens are pretty good, as the undergloves are full fingered. Burtons AK Oven mitten is pretty impressive too, but they dont have an underglove.

Holy Moly! .......do you think they do a lacy sexy range.
