framing the foundation

The wood molds for the foundation were set it place. Makes it really clear where the house will be, despite having known for months what the siting plan was.

Well, that's not quite the case-- the site was rotated about 15deg not too long ago, once we realized that solar panels will need to go on the main house (as opposed to the carport, which was the initial plan). So it's taking my mind's eye a little time to re-adjust to the rotation, but nothing a little time won't re-align. (Solar panel note: the carport is just too shaded for effective panels. We should have figured this out earlier; although it's not a major complication, it was know-able in advance).

Still feeling like the house is the perfect size. Any bigger and I'd think it was eating up too much of the land. Any smaller and I'd have concerns about space and the open-floorplan middle third being too small.
