I have posted some pics of partial land clearing on lots 4 and 6. We rented an environmentally sensitive machine called a gyrotrac to do the clearing with. I think the woods opened up nicely. A layer of mulch is left after the underbrush is chewed up. I will post pics documenting the construction progress.
After a lot of blood, sweat, and tears, I finally have lot 6 under contract. I will have lot 4 under contract at the end of the month. These lots will be partially cleared next week. Water wells, septic systems, and electrical lines will be installed shortly thereafter. It would be a great time to come out and look around as lot 4 and 6 will be much easier to view after clearing. If you are interested in one of the remaing 7 lots, you can get a better idea of how your lot would look like after minimal clearing. Hope to see you on the farm!
We have started posting house plans under the architecture heading. We will be posting more plans as well as a link to the entire Green Bridge Farm house plan portfolio. All houses will be equipped with geothermal heat pumps, foam insulation, and energy star appliances. We will also be posting photos of finished homes with their interiors designed by our architect. All plans were drawn by local architect Curtis Gibbs.
If everything goes to plan, a zero energy home, or ZEH, will be built on Green Bridge Farm in the next few months. I am in negotiations with a builder who utilizes the Earth Comfort System TM, to build a house that produces as much energy as it consumes. This is cutting edge technology. We will use SIPS panels, a geothermal heat pump, and solar panels. The structural insulated panels are premanufactured off site and delievered in crates to the building site. They are basically particle board outside with foam inside. Like a sandwhich. There is no waste and they provide superior insulation. I will provide more information as the project progresses.
