Hey out there in SoWal land. Today is the last day for the Green Home Challenge. I know, I have worn out my welcome :roll: but it has gotten down to who can drum up the most votes. :dothewave:


I'm reposting this to see if I can get those who might not have seen the challenge to vote for a fellow SoWaller. :sowal: Currently, I'm holding 2nd place by only 10 points!

Just to sum up contest: it is about the house that makes the most green impact. :D We'd love to have a net zero home be in the top 3 - it is the only net zero in the contest.

I found something out the other day - there are around 45,000 Chelco members, and around 400,000+ Gulf Power customers - out of close to 1/2 million homes we are only 1 of 2 at net zero, the other being from Gulf Power. We love getting the word out because we feel we have learned so much doing this - way more than we knew this time last year when we were finalizing plans to build here. We love sharing so that others, who might be considering building, can take some or all of what we learned and do the samet. (we aren't selling anything -just sharing)

Here's link - no need to sign up - just click on link and then vote #8

I voted for you. I am a commercial property manager and I love Green Design. If you are ever in St. Louis, there is a LEED building called the Alberici Building that you would enjoy. They took an existing building and totally redesigned to create the first LEED (platinum I believe) building in STL. They do tours and I learned so much. The cost for the redesign was paid for in 7 years and they are completely off the grid.
