Great House !

Say, how would you folks adapt this house to sit on a foundation (gaining 1/3 more square footage) and to be well-insulated (perhaps with bio-foam spray ?) appropriate to handle our Minnesota winters ?

Single-Dad, budget conscious is necessary if I'm ever to meet the dream of building a small to modest-sized, energy-efficient home for my family ! : - )

MINNESOTA HAS...
- Humid, sunny, hot summers !
- Cold winters with snow !

RSVP With Ideas - Thanks Much,
