Planning to build my own house in the archipelago of stockholm. I want to build in 2-3 years. Right now I´m singel but...who now.

All houses is build in wood here in sweden. I planning to build one in stone. Lightbetong (if you understund). As my car I want something special....

I don´t need many square meeters but a want a big kitchen and a big tv room. Offcause I would like to have children so I need atleast one room for "that", exept a big master bedroom. I also planning a garage for my Mustang.

I understund that I can´t buy a american house but if you have pictures and ideas its very welcome. (My english is lovely!!)

Right now I living in a tooooo small apartment in stockholm city. It´s like a garage in size. I need pictures to give me ideas and so I can build it myself. Probably in Light betong. (I hope it´s the same name in english).

Almost everything is made of wood in the northern United States as well, joakim. Stone doesn't insulate real well, so most homes are made of wood here in Minnesota.

The people from about mid-Kansas and south of there might have some ideas for stone buildings, though.

btw, I've always found your English to be quite good. It's way harder to write in a foreign language than it is to speak it.
