Our house is almost finished, it’s beautiful and we are very happy to be finally moved in. We arrived in early February and have had a wonderful time unpacking and re-visiting everything that had been in storage for almost 3 years!
I’ll post pictures of the house shortly but until then, I’ll be posting stories collected from around the Internet about living Green at home. Here is the first one, from www.thebudgetecoist.com.
