JohnT, Back in 1991-96 I doubled the size a two bedroom ranch. Build a new house around the old one, super insulated it, new windows, doors, electrical, plumbing, kitchen, garage. Spent more on the remodel than I paid for the house.
25000 brick is far more attractive, better resale value, and just as good as building under ground. You can't imagine how the brick buffers the inside temp, summer and winter. The other day I had to move the thermostat off 74 to 72 just to make the AC come on just to lower the humidity. My basement is under ground and I have to run a dehumidifier most of the year. Humidity is issue with under ground homes in Terre Haute.
I'm glad I built this house when I was younger. No way could I do it today.
Another concern are straight line winds 90 mph and up. Takes trees down. I can't imagine what that will do to solar and wind. Not to mention hail. I've had hail damage a few times. And then snow loads. The blizzard of 78 collapsed roofs on barns and houses.
I think the old tried and proven ways of building a house gives you more bang for the buck.

The farm and the Allis were sold and I have spent a lifetime working on farms throughout the country. I promised myself that one day I would own an Allis. That time event
