Mike-
Thank you for making known to all your journey of building form the ground up. Would you recommend a particular camera available for filming video if you were building another home? I’m breaking ground on my first project with a couple partners and your construction blog gave me the idea of filming and sharing our project as you did.

Hey thanks for this blog. My husband and I are about to start our own construction project and the information you posted here was invaluable.

[…] be interesting to create a video of the construction process as well. The idea was inspired by a timelapse video that Mike Davidson created of the construction of his own (absolutely amazing) home in Seattle. TO […]

MikeT: You’re right… I should put it on YouTube. I believe I may have put a version of it on Vimeo, but good idea.

Alex: Thanks. Glad you are enjoying it. I didn’t include the cost of the land because it wasn’t really part of the construction process… although, admittedly, there is other stuff that isn’t part of the construction process either.

I googled what it takes to build a house in Seattle and i made it here in about two clicks . This was about 4 hours ago. In the process not only did i take a mental note of the entire process you went through but i also made some innovative ideas of my own to my game plan. Though i must admit i don’t see myself embarking on a seven figure project any time soon this blog has provided me with an source of reference or starting when considering any one part of building a house. I want to personally thank you for that and for all the effort you put into this. It may not mean a whole lot but in my particular it is not often that i take the time to write something like this online, i usually find out what i need to know and move on to the next step. This however is by the far the most down to earth resource i could ask for when even contemplating such a feat.

PS: You never mentioned what the cost of acquiring the property was, which in my eyes should be entered somewhere in the bottom line of the entire cost of the project.

A great resource for all people looking into building sustainably, and to be able to document the whole process with a blog and a time-lapse movie is brilliant. Well done.

This is great work. It flowed really well, and it was kind of neat how the last part was in sunshine, while the rest was kind of stormy looking.

I plan to show this to my daughter tonight. She’s 3 and has been asking how they build houses. I just wish it was on Youtube instead of Flash so I didn’t have to sit down at the PC with her to watch it. But thanks for putting this together; it’s fantastic.
