Share your Green Building Resources
Hello All,
Okay I’m really, really going to try to remodel our house as green as possible without spending a million bucks. The place is 100+ years old and 2/3 gutted with no insulation or central heat so not alot left to have to rip out and replace.
Please share with me/the group where you go to your green build info. This could be websites, trade publications, magazines, blogs, associations anything…
As a HO I like reading other HO’s blogs about their adventures in Green Remodeling. It would be great if a pro did something similar.
I’ve been doing some searching around on the net and WOW there is a lot of kooks in the energy conservation-green blog world….
thanks muchly,
Daniel Neumansky

I'm not shy about calling up people and asking/paying for their help/opinions.
Are there 'offical' experts in this area? If so who?

Sorry, don't know west coast. And, as is evident on this forum, everyone thinks they're an "expert".
