Pete met our one of our future neighbors when dropping off our recycling. She works at the recycle center! In the short time they talked, he found out that she will be a great resource for helping us reduce our impact while building a home. For starters we could get recycled crushed concrete at the recycling center for our driveway, and she told us another neighbor is an excavator.
We are finding many people in the area are interested in what we are trying to do. He called me from the doctors while getting a blood draw to get the name of our blog for the nurse!

More Renewable Energy Tax Incentives
State, as well as the Federal governments are making it more attractive to build and remodel "green". Besides the Federal incentives that were added on in October 2008 to the "Rescue Plan" and the ones in the "Stimulus plan" just singed last week, Michigan has a bill (HB 4004)introduced that will allow taxpayers to claim an income tax credit if they purchase and install a residential renewable energy system at their principal residence or residential rental property. The credit would be equal to 50 percent of the total cost to purchase and install the residential renewable energy system. I hope it passes!
