The magnificent 20...

There we are - the magnificent 20. In the next 3 weeks we'll be framing up a Habitat home for a family of 7 in Mason, Texas. It's to be another "green" home, super insulated and energy efficient. The home we built last year, all electric for heating and air conditioning with solar hot water, continues to cost the home owner less than $20 a month in electric. (In NY state I think even our base charge is more than that.) The home this year is to be slightly larger but it's still anticipated that the electric will be low.

Our leaders, Karen & Dave from Minnesota, fell in love with Mason and bought a winter home (this is their yard we're sitting in) here after last year's build. It is a wonderful community to work for plus, as Mary says, they feed you well.

Speaking of feeding, thought you'd like this sign on a mobile catfish fry...
