Partners, Progress, and of course pictures...

When Molly and I started this journey it was our hope to be able to open the house up to people to show that green building was possible and that you could do it on a budget. And we are excited that Weaver Precast/Superior Wall has come on as a supplier. The walls are made right here in Spartanburg, and is a great start to our house. We are using the walls in the basement that we will leave unfinished for now. I really like the system because of the ease of finishing. You can see in the photos that their are already studs built in, a great asset for the do it yourselfer like me!

other details that might be of interest!

So here are a couple of the other details that might be of interests -

• we are building on a half acre lot on Mustang Drive in Spartanburg
• Parker Champion is our Earth Craft Builder
• our house plan is from South Living with minimal changes.

We have gotten started and have cleared a spot for the house. It pained us to get rid of any trees but we feel we did a good job of saving the most possible. The following post will include some pictures!

the lot, the boys, and the bulldozer

Welcome!

So here is the background for this project. My wife and I decided that we wanted to build an earth friendly or green house in Spartanburg, SC. We did a little research and have decided to build an EarthCraft Home. This blog will hopefully outline our progress, our findings both exciting and troubling, and serve as a resource for others.

We hope to use this space to highlight the process from a pictorial standpoint as well as a place to talk about products and company's that we are working with. Check back often and let us know if you have any questions.
