I was also reminded of the fact that most people just don't understand green, and think it is tacking on expensive gadgets, such as solar. Many(most?) home builders are also reluctant to move away from their standard practices, standard sub-contractors, standard materials, standard designs, and more. They know how much that standard costs, and have it down to a science. The 'green model' is a paradigm shift, which means almost everything you thought you knew, is probably now incorrect. Think of the world being flat to the world being round. What a change that resulted in! This is the same kind of shift. <BR/><BR/>I look forward to reading your posts as you find the shade you want to be. I've been on the same path myself. People are more willing to listen and learn than ever before. And it's really cool.Sara Sweeneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12266718540445833002noreply@blogger.com
