Construction is officially under way! Last week CHDC held a ceremonial (and actual!) groundbreaking for one of the three green affordable demonstration home projects we're working on in the Des Moines metro area.
The home will be located at 1347 Forest Avenue in the King Irving Neighborhood of Des Moines. Pictured are Emily Karsjens of COSC, Des Moines Mayor Frank Cownie, architect Jamie Malloy of Wells + Associates, Karen Jeske of CHDC, David Downs of Double D Construction, and landscape architect Zach Zielonko, also of Wells + Associates. It has been great working with these fantastic partners!You can visit COSC's website and CHDC's blog for more information and pictures.

Great news! I will link to this at Bleeding Heartland (http://www.bleedingheartland.com) later, and I will put the demo on my calendar of events for next week, which will probably be posted on Sunday or Monday.
There's a great blog by a Des Moines area builder, MD Construction, LLC of Ankeny that is talking about all of the steps to use when building a new home. It is at www.mdconstructionllc.com and is information only, they have NOT tried to sell anything. It is a continuing series of articles by one of the owners or managers, and has alot to say about what is really important when building Green.
