Or perhaps it was built by true professional "experts" that know what they are doing (non-union), care about what they are doing (non-union) and take the time to do it right because of the impact they can have on the environment (non-union), so that the quality and longevity of the actual construction method saves money and offsets the carbon foot print over the life of the home? Maybe it's both? In addition it was not stated in the article, but maybe the materials are recyclable, or renewable? Would it be possible to elaborate on that? On a last note I would also like to say that this "wart of a dwelling" has more character and interest than the over produced, non-descript, architecturally confused, ginourmous, inefficient, cookie cutter homes that are currently being crapped out on a daily basis. No wonder people don't want to buy new homes any more.
