Plain Lindseed Oil makes a fine finish for just about any wood. It is cheap, easy to apply, but should probably be applied yearly depending upon weathering. You can mix it with a bit of motor oil to darken the stain.
It varies based on the complexity of the job. A good rule of thumb is to determine the cost of materials, then multiply that amount by three to four to determine a range for the total price of the entire job. Best bet is to contact at least three contractors for bids and eliminate the high and low prices.

over the North pole
A house with walls all facing in the same direction is a house that is sitting smack bang on top of the north pole. that way, all four walls are facing south. :D
If all directions are south, then the house stands on the north pole, and the bear is white.
Because of the tilt of the Sun in winter, the sun will strike the south facing windows facing windows for most of the day.
This only happens in the northern hemisphere, and the reason is becasue South is the main direction of the sun. It will rise in the South-east and set in the South-west, but a house facing South will get sunlight all day.
The only way this is possible is if the house is built directly on the North Pole.
If you are facing south, then the east is to your left.
When facing south, west is to your right.
How much of an overhang needed depends on how big your property (and especially your south facing window) is. You'll need to get an expert on this matter to check out your house and then you'll know.
All interior shots of the mansion were filmed on a soundstage, but the exterior shots of the mansion were of a real house that is located at 380 South San Rafael Avenue in Pasadena, CA.
You want 25% wider than the planned house. If the building is not square, you want the gables going east to west to put the long side facing north and south.

Build it on a rotating platform. Build it directly on the North Pole.
