The Bright Green Future
So about a month ago, I posted a picture of a weird, ugly little house. Kim and I own that house. It is nestled on approximately one acre of land which borders a local park in beautiful Tucker, GA. We are divesting ourselves of our current real estate holdings (the house in Sugar Hill has been sold, and we close on our Athens house in a few weeks), and moving to Tucker. We bought this tiny little house with one thought in mind.
Let’s tear this bitch down and build new one.
And starting in May, that’s exactly what we are going to do. We’re going to build a modern Craftsman style home where this little house currently stands. But, in a somewhat unusual step, we are going to build an extremely energy-efficient home out of non-conventional building materials. I’ve spent literally hundreds of hours researching this topic, and I’m going to talk a little bit about the process right now. If this sort of thing bores you, you can stop reading.
