Hopefully here soon we will be able to start breaking soil for our house deep in the Ozark woods in Thayer, Missouri.  We have cleared the site of the wooded area and are just awaiting the trip home from good ol' Japan back to the states.  We have settled on a one story house on a full basement that will have a little over 2,600 square footage of house/basement.  My husband is also looking into making a cellar for fruits/vegetables to start canning and keeping them for year long produce.
