Ms Susanka did a house in VT or NH, and it was shown in a FH story. Now plans are available for sale. Can you link me?
One of the features was an eyebrow-arch roof over an open porch, with the roof being sheathed in standing seam metal, I believe.

Thanks, that's not it, but I found it. It is the house shown in the article in FH last year, built in Lake Elmore, VT, near Stowe, and Ms Susanka's topic was about defining rooms with ceiling height variations and treatments.
As it turns out, a replicate of the home was built as a huge product and design showcase on the lot of the convention center for this year's International Builders Show in Vegas.
Plans are available by linking through the Not So Big House website.
I have a potential client that wants a floor plan like this one, and am thinking it might be a nice project. Looks like hard costs in the $175 to $225/sf range. Don't know if I want to have an owner in from the start, having built only specs.

A recently disappeared poster, Mr. Micro was building one of her houses somewhere in Northern Michigan.
Maybe he froze to death or his PO'ed painter did him in as I haven't seen him here lately.
He might have some answers for you.

Micro, aka Bob Dylan, is sitting in his NSBH posting this note to the thread. He has since bought his own high end HVLP rig and is happy to do his own painting, at much less cost than before. Preprimed trim, sand off any boogers, dust it down, one quick tack coat of finish, one last coat 10 minutes later, and all finished up, smooth as a baby's butt. Looks the same or better than my by-the-hour painter who used an airless, two more often three coats of Binz, then finally two of finish.
Didn't realize BD was aka MrMicro.
So is it done? Where's the pictures?
Is it done and sold even better?

Not sold yet, but serious interest, as the vacation home buyers are finally up from 212 and 609 land.
No pics until the hardwood floors get finished, and the chimney gets topped out. If you go to the Gary Katz carpenters gallery website, you can see a short sequence taken in the mudroom.
