Hi 151, welcome to the forum. I suppose most of us are from the US, and it would probably help you in your build if you could tell us where you are located in this great nation of ours. There is probably a TD owner or builder fairly close to you. You would find it helpful to attend a Gathering prior to or during your build. Walk-ins are always invited, and seeing and talking to fellow TD folks will give you an idea of how helpful they can be. You mentioned plans, and along that line, what size, length, width and exterior material is your intent? We are all here to help, and most of us have been right where you are today, with your plans to build. Good luck, hope to hear more about your progress, and remember take pics as you go along, you will only have one chance to take 'em. Oh yes, post them too, we love pics.
