Sacie,

love your home and your collection of art and crafts.

I never contributed to this list but always enjoyed and learned from the various comments. Was very involved in our local U.S Green Building Council, but semi
retirement, and now probably permanent retirement, I am letting the younger generation deal with “green” issues. 
Thanks again for all the great contributions and hoping everyone is safe.  Stay at Home.

I no longer communicate on this list, not because I'm uninterested, rather because we're finally pretty well out of the building business.  That said, I found this list wonderfully helpful back when.  And now, when I do check in, I still see familiar names.

To replace it, we bought an 1883 house in town, which we gutted and redid.  We anticipate this will be our 'last' house.  Given our ages, a judicious decision. The local paper did a piece about it recently.  It is fairly energy efficient, certainly it is well insulated and more importantly, as tight as affordable.  (We didn't take off the original clapboard to build out the walls, for instance, (that would have added big bucks), but we did extend the interior perimeter walls).

(It is designed for a small caretaker's apt upstairs too).  We're within walking distance of a fairly vivid downtown, ie a few blocks.  It's dead now, but eventually it will come to life.
