Generally speaking one panel of green wall or roof can oxygenate one person for a year. They have a self-contained irrigation system and require little maintenance. Green walls and roofs can significanlty reduce the Heat Island Effect in urban areas by reflecting the sun's heat and energy. They also help to reduce acid rain by filtering stormwater runoff.

    • Green Remodel - An Overview

    • A quick look at a 4 year journey

    • Green Remodel - Exterior

    • Green Extreme Makeover

    • Green Remodel - Living Room

    • Originally built as a open air patio, the previous owners converted it to an unheated sun room. Using trusses, we were able to open up the space to become our living room, dining room including a bar for entertaining. The south facing orientation takes advantage of passive solar gain in the winter months, while the overhang protects from the blistering summer sun. Hot water radiant heat, in the concrete and under the bamboo floor, warms this space.

    • Green Remodel - Master Bathroom

    • Transforming a central bathroom into a master spa

    • Green Remodel - Master Bedroom

    • By reusing the picture window, replacing single pane aluminum windows, taking advantage of the east and south passive solar and installing low voltage, electric radiant heat we really updated this room.

    • Silo living

    • A picture of the curved stair case in the silo house.

    • silo living

    • silo living

    • silo living

    • This is a picture of when we got our concrete floor poured. The pipes sticking out are the plumbing we have for the first floor which includes a full bath and wash room.

    • Silo living

    • These are the I-beams that will support each floor of the silo. We are using the I-beams and 2x12's perpendicular to the I-beam to create a floor/ceiling.

    • Silo living

    • These are handcrafted kitchen cabinets. My father-in-law made these from a walnut tree that had to be sat out to dry for 3 or 4 months before constructing them. This particular cabinet will follow the curvature of the silo.

    • Kitchen Bamboo Floor

    • The step is done and the main floor has a good start.

    • Radiant Heat Under Carpet. Yes, you can!

    • The master bedroom walk it closet is the only place in the house we decided on carpet. We used the same low voltage electric radiant heat as we did under the bamboo laminate. Here you can see the carpet padding is put down first, then the matting and the carpet will go on top of that. When installing the carpet, you just have to be careful that the carpet stretcher/kicker doesn't go through into the radiant matting.
