1.5 Inches of Fame

Happy (day after) Earth Day! I got another interesting piece of news yesterday. Our architect, Marta, sent us an email asking for a copy of our Energy Star report so she could submit our house for the 2010 EcoHome Design Awards.

She also sent an attachment from the December 2009 issue of Green Builder Magazine. Apparently, she had also entered our house in their 2009 Green Builder Home of the Year Awards. While we weren't one of the finalists, it looks like we were selected for one of their "Special Focus Awards" -- an Honorable Mention of sorts. Not sure why it says our house originally had 7' ceilings -- they were 9'. Maybe it was a typo. Anyway, it's kind of cool to see a picture of our house in a magazine!
