  Construction in earnest has not begun.  Certain parts have been started like the front door.  Others are being modified to work.  The septic system has been started and hopefully will be finished soon. 

 

The goal is to achieve a high Green Building rating. Using materials that a recycled, renewable, energy efficient, and environmentally friendly. 

    Front Door:  The front door is a laminated slab with six lights.  The assembly is 8' tall and 8' wide.  The laminated wood utilizes smaller pieces of wood which reduces the need to harvest old growth forests.  The frame is steel which is the most highly recycled product in the world. 

Kitchen Counters:  Recycled commercial kitchen items which are being modified to fit. 

Appliances:  Almost all of the appliances have been purchased from eBay at about half price or less.
