where we live. I like them and think they are a great product. But they are a bit more of a project than I have the time to take on. I know my limits and having to go from bare ground and woods to a completed structure, primarily solo, is over the top. Although it would be a good bit cheaper! Also, what we want for the house (so we get the view over the lake right) requires mods to their designs that require enough custom work that the cost savings of the kits is less than it would be otherwise.
NT, get some design ideas but don't pay for plans yet. Just get the ideas and some drawings to show to some builders. Many have the capes to take a design and do up the plans they need, for a lot less than an architect will charge. All those plan books you can buy (or get at the library) are a good start. I suspect you can find a design you like and get it fine tuned to your liking.
Those Craftsman style bungalows are nice. There are a number of them in Maine where we will be building. Always a pleasure to look at. So much of houses looking "right" is proportion and many of those did it right.
And you've probably figured out that doing a lot of the work yourself is a great opp to buy tools!
