			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Here are some photos, one before and the rest more recent, of our cottage project on the St. Croix. Due to Town of Troy, St. Croix County and DNR regulations and the proximity of the site to the River, we cannot increase the height or footprint of the structure.<br />
Notable features include:<br />
Geothermal heat with radiant raupanels with hot-water tubing beneath the skip-sawn white oak flooring. We also used closed-cell spray foam insulation, for its very high value per inch. We created a loft area for the four children who will call this their summer home.  It will be accessed via a ships ladder, and although it only has 5&#8217;2&#8243; of head-room, I know it will be a big hit. As soon as we obtain the needed permits, we will re-construct the cedar deck and limestone retaining walls, which had deteriorated. There will also be limestone accents on the entry columns, etc.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Landsted is custom building a storybook retreat in the woods on the outskirts of Hudson, WI for a client who wants independent living in the woods without the maintenance and expense of a larger home. It is inexpensive to build (under 250k), uses less than $90 per month of gas to heat, and lives like a far larger home. It has heated stamped concrete floors on both levels. We think the concept this home represents could appeal to a large number of younger couples and empty-nesters alike. Take a look at the progress so far!</p>
