Green Home: March 2009

Illinois' First LEED Detached Single Family Home. View of Carport with Two Hotrods. Week of November 5, 2007: We're progressing on installing the kitchen and bathroom cabinets (no they're not blue, that's just the protective coating. Still helping, this time painting the walls (w/ low v.o.c. paint). Thank God we didn't have to paint the ceilings! Michelle Peluso Vertex Architects, LLC. Links to this post. Week of October 15, 2007: The roof top units have arrived and are being installed. Noticeable. M...

Illinois' First LEED Detached Single Family Home. View of Carport with Two Hotrods. The rest of the household has gone a little crazy. Renzo still has a feeding tube in his neck and refuses to eat on his own. Sandy decided she wants to learn how to drive, Alphonso feels the need to put his leg in a hole and Gianluca just can't take it anymore! There's a reason you install. Wood The plywood would get so filthy and uncleanable! Shoes on. Now I would scream if he walked in the house. And not until you.

Illinois' First LEED Detached Single Family Home. View of Carport with Two Hotrods. Week of November 26, 2007: The stair has arrived! It's actually good that the stair didn't come. The paint would have been chipped and stratched within a day if all the contractors had been able to use it. And yes, the stair is green. Michelle Peluso Vertex Architects, LLC.

Once all the exterior walls are filled, the contractor comes back with a huge scraper and slices off the excess so the insulation will be flush with the face of the metal studs.

Illinois' First LEED Detached Single Family Home. View of Carport with Two Hotrods. Week of December 12, 2007: It seems like it's all coming together. We are moving into the house in three days. We've been cleaning like crazy and I've been trying to pack up the stuff that we used since May-clothes, food and toys. We got the ducts cleaned. The guys basically hook up a big vacumn to the duct, and close off all the vents. A big swirly brush goes zipping along inside and voila! Follow me on Twitter.

Illinois' First LEED Detached Single Family Home. View of Carport with Two Hotrods. Week of March 26, 2007: Alphonso and I come up with the brillant idea to sell our northwest side condo and move into the "The Pheasant House" so his commute won't be so long in the mornings when he has to meet the subs at 6 am. We "stage" our condo for sale and put it on the market. Meanwhile Alphonso and Gianluca practice their boxing "guard" position. Michelle Peluso Vertex Architects, LLC. Links to this post. We have n...

Illinois' First LEED Detached Single Family Home. View of Carport with Two Hotrods. Week of October 15, 2007: The roof top units have arrived and are being installed. Since we won't have a crane or boom on site anymore and the weather will be getting colder soon, we get the concrete carport and driveway installed on a nice sunny morning. Inside, we're heading down the finish line but there is still plenty of work to be done. Painting, cabinet installation, plumbing fixtures, bathroom tiles, lighting.
