I think you'd be surprised at what survives the North. Obviously you want to stay away from walls made of glass, frost heaves will destroy them. There seem to be quite a few homes though that have gabled roofs and look no different than other homes in my town. The problem I have with that is that the other homes in my town fall apart, because the "normal" building design isn't actually all that smart for a northern purpose.

There are others that appear to be much sturdier and architecturally pleasing at the same time that appeal to me more... like this one:



Maybe I should make this happen in a year or two... as for the mortgage thing, I have a 3.1% fixed rate mortgage right now... I won't do anything unless I can afford it at 10% anyway, because I don't want to get kicked out of my house if things tank.
