Building the White House

Designing and building an environmentally-sustainable home.

Vermont Eco-Builder house blog

Posted on | September 28, 2008 |

I discovered another eco-builder blog today, this time based in Vermont. They’re already living in the house, after starting the process about 18 months ago.

One of the things I’ve found that’s really interesting about their project is the use of recycled and cast-off materials from builders and showrooms. They’ve also tried to be super conscious of the source of the materials to ensure that the build is as environmentally sound as possible. 

We haven’t really explored the possibility of using more sustainable concrete sources, but once we have a chance to meet with builders, we will be doing just that. It honestly all depends on the total cost of the project for us as well. 

Their project has been profiled in the Boston Globe today.
