That is gorgeous! How do you build it? What tool do you use when cutting the wood?

What is a split rail fence?

This is why I want a herb garden! It is amazing how many uses they have! Lavender is good for keeping many unwanted insects away =)

That sounds nice. We just don't have construction experience and I'd be worried we would mess something up... So we will have the $100k mortgage unless we find something already built that is what we want and less expensive.

I was thinking about doing that but you have to do double exterior walls from what I have read and drywalling can be an issue due to the spacing. I also don't know how easy it is to put seperation in for bedrooms, bathrooms, etc.

You should look at pole barn houses... there is another name for them but that sounds exactly like what you are talking about =) POST FRAME HOUSES! I heard they are cheaper to build too!
