They're just about done with the framing for a little place near here:
Saw this today and it pulled me off the road to look -
nice seeing some big sticks being used - Grande Ronde tribe is doing a cedar plank house.

Calmloki- it looks like those posts are just sitting on their pads, rather than planted. What gives the frame adequate shear resistance?

The huge pool is for the whole condo complex. The listed condo is only 1399 sqft, so the AC bill should not be too bad. No?

Don't know. Saw no metal pins, nails or bolts, just some beautiful scribing and inletting of the logs. I would guess that there is a serious metal post sunk in the concrete pad and sticking up into the vertical posts, but don't know. Only the one guy there and i didn't ask. Curious to see what a cedar plank house is - maybe like this, which i find ugly.

I think the final offer was $750,000 or so, which she turned down too. So he just built his complex around her.
As far as I knew she is still alive and living there.

Nope, unfortunately Miss Macefield is no longer with us. I think in her place I might have taken the last offer, which probably would have been enough to have the house moved to a different lot.
