Entry 23: Senator Burr's (Assistant) is in town

Hello blog faithful,

Today, I went to the site to help with a tour for the environmental aid to Senator Burr, one of the 2 United States Senators for North Carolina. We talked about green ways of living related to the Smart Home and how to possibly create legislation.

Also, visitors from BRAE, the company installing our rain water harvesting system came down to the site discuss with Bovis specifics on their system for the home.

In construction news, check out the Picasa account for new photos. I want to highlight a couple of things:
  1. The green roof is completely installed. everything has been planted and it will take some time for it to grow in, but check out some photos of it in the archive.
  2. The bio-retention garden retaining wall is being constructed in front of the home
  3. The outside decks and front ramp has begun work
  4. Bovis is planning the process for installing the exterior siding product, Cembonit. It should begin going up soon and I will post photos of the builders working around the house.
Until next time,
-Scott
