Cabinets are Being Installed

OK, so this isn’t my best picture; I’ll get a better one. This is a view from the entry looking toward the kitchen (The island isn’t installed yet).
Cabinets are FSC Certified and a deep, chocolate brown. You have to see it in person to really appreciate it.
And… the cork floor is going down in the bathrooms.

Reclaimed Wood Floors – theSAGE

This is a segment of the reclaimed wood flooring in theSAGE. With up to six different species of wood, this floor is made up of wood salvaged from dismantled buildings. It’s been buffed and will be sealed with a very low VOC sealer.

theSAGE has solar

If you’ve been following our construction of theSAGE at the Arbor South Architecture Group on Facebook, you’ll know all the sustainable features we’re packing into 1,447 sq ft.
We’re targeting LEED Platinum and pulling out all the stops. This picture shows the 2KW solar photovoltaic panels. There’s also a solar hot water collector (can’t see it). Super insulation and more.
I’m going to get pictures of the reclaimed wood flooring and post those soon. Its looking incredible!
You can purchase this plan at thesimpleHOUSE. You can also buy this home (Eugene, Oregon) — just contact us.

new blog look

At long last, I think I’ve settled on a blog design. Thanks to the people at Pyzam. We’ve also cleaned it up and there are no more ads. After all, we want simple, not clutter.

LEED AP

Well, I took the test and passed. 

I am now a Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design Accredited Professional (LEED AP for short — now I know why they abbreviate it!). It’s another step in learning and staying in touch with what’s happening in sustainability.
