I am very honored to announce that the 2012 East Alabama Living Showcase Home is also the FIRST earth cents home in the state if Alabama. To simplify this, it equals lower power bills. There's several ways to meet the requirements of an earthcents home, but instead of muddling the waters, I've posted the link here:

This entire process has been unbelievable easy. I strongly suggest that you look into it if you are interested in building a new home. Lisa
