Look up Dennis's snowbird build and you'll see Norts is keeping an eye on it and will help when he can with advice and eyes on..Thai Dhup's build is fantastic reading and out of most peoples reach ( :)), BiPs was again different and had certain challenges which were interesting to see how he overcame them, but its about ideas and all builds give you ideas.
The best advice i have seen on this forum starts with plans..weird i know but you mentioned awkward plot size etc. On the forum there have been many builds who've benefited from sharing their initial thoughts and plans and getting advice from the members - usually a build is sacrosanct - you'll get some ribbing but serious posters (and there are many) will take time to advise and help you so for goodness sake don't be put off and ask away.
