The primary purpose of this site is to keep everyone informed of the changes occurring at the Musch Rd site, follow the farm's progress as they pursue LEED certification for the new home that will be built on the property and to engage in a discussion about sustainable construction and efficient buildings. I hope you will add your thoughts and comments as we move forward.
The farm's building partners for this endeavor will be Piet Lindhout and Dave Richardson of Lindhout Architects, General Contractor will be Tom Boyle of Tom Boyle Building and the Owner's Representative will be me and the newly formed 3 Pillars Construction LLC. We hope to have most of the construction team on board within the next month or so.
So far we have developed the site plan and if you have been by the site you have already seen some of the stakes laying out parts of the driveway, the pavilion and the house. We are meeting Thursday to see the first sketches of the floor plan. We are also having a LEED design charrette on the 8th of March to develop our LEED points checklist. I'll be adding a post related to all things LEED; the goals of LEED certification, the process, and credit requirements.
In the interest of brevity (a condition I struggle with) I'm going to end here so I can collect my thoughts and call Shannon so she can explain to me how to actually manage this site! Stay tuned, lots more to come.
