Montgomery Near The Square - Clearing & Grading on 8 March 2012!

Progress continues on Montgomery Street. Yesterday, 8 March, we started clearing and grading the site. There are several pecan trees as well as other varieties on the property, and we are trying to save as many as we can. We NEVER clear-cut - it's just not green! - and always try to leave as many shade trees as possible in order to maximize the home's energy efficiency by mitigating the heat island effect and cooling needs that can stress the HVAC unit(s). Solar shading is a Passive Design Strategy easily incorporated into even traditional builds that goes a long way in optimizing a building's efficiency and reducing its CO2 emissions. 

As of today, work is on hold. Rain here in the ATL. We still have about a half day's worth of grading before foundation work begins. More pictures soon! And, it looks like we will be dropping the boxes sometime around 22 March. Stay tuned!
