For energy efficiency and long term performance, the radiant flooring and the countertops will be poured concrete.  This solar powered house should be fully complete in 2013.

Happy 4th!

After debating whether or not to make this a wordless entry, other than the photo credit, I chose instead to say something.  My grandfather, Giuseppe Ferretti came to America from Italy in 1911. With little formal education, he worked by day as a barber for 63 years, but at night, he invented musical instruments, sculpted stainless steel, and of course, raised a family.  Although he never truly reached his full potential, his labors led the way for three successful children, and now many grandchildren and great-grandchildren who have opportunities he couldn't have even imagined.

Wasn't this exactly what the founding fathers intended when they talked about a country where people had the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness?  For those who came before me, whose dedication and sacrifice ensured these freedoms, I thank them, and hope that my work as an educator will pass the torch to the next generation.
