Hello everyone, I found this site by way of Ecomodder. Great site!
I do ALOT of remodeling (when I'm home). I'm currently working in Iraq as a contractor, so my projects are limited to the few weeks of vacation I'm at home. I bought a house 2 years ago, and since then have replaced the floors, completely gutted and remodeled the master bath and second bath. Painted, remodeled the kitchen, closed in a sunroom to make a fourth bedroom, and installed a pool with deck. 90% of those projects were completed by myself, with the other 10% I had help. Now that the inside of the house is the way my wife wants it...it's time to do the things I want, which is transitioning to alternative energy. Now you know why I'm excited to be here. I have been in the telecommunications industry for 16 years. I have no formal training in any of the trades of renovation, just ALOT of O.J.T. on the job training..LOL!
If I can help in any way I will, just ask.

I'm looking into some kind of Solar water heating first. I'm also looking into installing some Solatubes for natural lighting. Eventually I would like to install some sort of
"grid-tie" system. Preferably a solar / wind combo. I wish I had found this site a couple years ago when I started my projects. BUt I'm here now, thats the important thing right.
Thanks for the welcome.

By the way; Love Ecomodder too
