At the Home Show!

Next weekend (January 11-13, 2013) stop by the Metropolitan Builders Association Home Building and Remodeling Show to learn more about building a non-toxic home!   Test your knowledge about toxicity in building materials - can you tell, just from looking at the materials, which are toxic and non-toxic?  Can you tell which materials are healthy vs. green?

Our home project, the Know Tox Home, will be featured by Source 1 Project Solutions, designer and general contractor for the project.  We'll be right across from the Man Cave exhibit.  Hope to see you there!

Under 2,000 sq ft

One of our largest challenges right now is to find a lot.  At the beginning of this project, I did not expect this to be one of our biggest hurtles.  But, MAN!  Here is the scoop...  Lot struggle reason #1 is in finding a lot that does not require large minimum home size requirements.  Most require large homes.  Much larger homes than the municipal ordinances require.  Lot struggle reason #2 is because of all of my allergies, not just to chemicals but to mold and pollen too.  That means I can't be close to water or dense trees, due to higher levels of mold.  Or in high-traffic areas that have a lot of vehicle exhaust chemicals.

So I'm looking for a lot that is in a suburban setting with few trees and bodies of water (not too much traffic, or pollen, or molds), that has reasonable home size requirements (1,200 sq ft ish vs. 2,200 sq ft).  If you know of anyone interested is selling a parcel of land in Waukesha County comment on this blog or send me a message!  You can reach me at uniquelynormal2@gmail.com.
