Two exciting weekends to firm up ideas, and narrow down the searches for builders for CasaArey.
Next weekend is the Parade of Home, hosted by the Central Texas Homebuilders Association. This will be a great opportunity to find local builders. I have had not one but two people tell me not to assume that Austin-based builders will cost more. Indeed, one new homeowner pretty assuredly said he knew it was cheaper in many cases. Still, I'd like to find out for myself and we do like the idea of a local builder who can oversee construction instead of dropping in from time to time. I'll report following our visits.
The following weekend in Austin are two great, simultaneous events: The Hill Country Solar Tour
and (not associated) the AIA Austin Homes Tour. Click the pics for links to their sites. I'm really excited about the latter weekend because there will be lots of fresh ideas and real-world applications of solar power. We're pulling the mobile CasaArey (i.e. a travel trailer) down to Austin as the base camp for this weekend of exploring...
