Summer has arrived. Hope you've got some vacation time planned as we're all working pretty hard.
Vacation is a time to relax, so it seemed like green was a good topic this month -- green symbolizes nature, it's the easiest color on the eye, calming and refreshing.
Green home concepts are gaining popularity and stop, don't panic.
Green homes can happen with really small, incremental steps that anyone can do. In fact we recommend step one is learning about green homes, so we've created an easy to find
"Green Homes" page on our blog, to give you ideas or simply remind you how to make green decisions when it's time to replace your refrigerator, hot water heater or remodel a bathroom.
Green homes can save money -- but how? When you buy a new appliance, by researching energy efficiency -- adding product, installation and operating costs -- you'll save money over just comparing the cost of the washing machine or siding. We've also got a fun article about an emerging green concept called deconstruction and one homeowner's story about saving $40,000.
So keep reading, learn a bit more about your home and have a great summer.
If your honey do list is bothering you, give us a call and you'll enjoy your summer even more.
