We’re done, we’re done!!

Well, we’re finally done with the house. We Past our final inspection, but we’re still pending our LEED status. I thought it would be nice to post some recent images. Unfortunately, we had to pull the house off the market due to the state of the economy and the ability for our developing partner to carry the finances. Fortunately, the developing partner is moving into the house. It’ll be very exciting to have someone close to the project move into the house and ‘tune’ it the way it was meant to be tuned. Speaking of tuning, I was in the house taking the above images. I noticed it was warm and comfortable in the house in socks, jeans and a T-shirt. The thermostat was set to 60 degrees. Not bad considering the low 40 degree exterior temperature.

Awesome. Congratulations on such a big accomplishment. Clearing the city’s byzantine building codes with SIP panels is truly impressive.
Shoot me a line when you have a moment – I’d like to discuss a feature on Portlandbuilt.com

Amazing! I read that you used LED fixtures in this house. What kind of fixtures are they? Strip lights? Light bars? It looked like the lights over the kitchen counters might be LEDs…

The LED’s used are lamps that replaced existing recessed line voltage 50W lamps. They don’t put out the same amount or quality of light as the 50W lamps. The kitchen lights are T5 HO bulbs which work great!
