Title: Green remodeling--or modeling
Post by: Amanda_931 on July 25, 2006, 09:28:26 AM
From Seattle.  With various topics in various sizes of .pdf files, a couple in the broadband or "take the laptop to the free wi-fi" range.  Also slide shows from various lectures.  I think I'll wait to do the "free wi-fi" on them--even if it really is $8 in gas to do a trip to Florence.

Interesting.   I can see how people could pad their house to make it seem greener than it really is.  And blow off some pretty important things because "it's just me out here in the middle of nowhere, I don't need to worry about that." (somehow I think I'm talking about me there!)

They don't like galvanized metal.  They really hate lawns.
