The Mothership Has Landed

Tuesday, October 7th, 2008

Well Homearama in Ashville Park has started. The final touches were completed before the judging and everyone finished on time. How did we do?

We won Gold Awards for-

Best Craftsmanship in the Show

Best Use of Concrete

Most Efficient Floor Plan

Best Green Feature

Most Environmentally Friendly Floor Plan

The Virginian Pilot’s Readers choice Award

We also won Bronze awards for the Best Pool and Foyer.

The show has been great and the traffic flow has been as well. Feel free to join us at the house and get a copy of Greenie The Builder Saves Earth Day. The first book in a series of books about Greenie The Builder. Greenie is a cartoon character that builds green houses and helps others learn how to live their lives greener. The book is very successful.
