Some Photos: Main Line Food and Jazz Fest
Here are some photos from the Main Line Food and Jazz Fest where we had a booth this past Saturday. It was a hot day so we put out some water and doggie cookies for the many pets at the event. The folks in the bright yellow t shirts were walking from Philly to Pittsburgh to raise awareness and dollars for returning veterans and their medical needs and expenses. They made it to Wayne by 1 or 2 o'clock so they were making great time on their walk! The lovely brown loaves are from George Perrier's booth. He is the owner of Le Bec Fin in center city, and he has another restaurant on the Main Line George's. Tamara took a lot of photos of this bread so you know what she was thinking about that Saturday! You can see Stormy, who came out to help us, and[...]
Chaka Fattah and NASA Chief Technologist Visit West Philly Hybrid X Team
Our company has been very excited to watch the incredible successes of the West Philadelphia High School "X Team" as they take on other competitors with very deep pockets and many years experience for the coveted "X Prize" for high efficiency vehicles. In fact high end Tesla Autos recently dropped out of the competition, perhaps because they couldn't compete against the West Philly High School team! We are excited to see our local congressional representative Chaka Fattah also supports these kids. We would like to see Philadelphia as a city get behind these kids and others in our city who are also passionate about learning. City kids get a bad rap when it comes to their performance in school. The West Philly High "X Team" is proof that urban kids want to learn. The are smart, hard working, successful people. And our company supports the notion that "learning with your[...]

Photo Tour: A Trip To The Stone Yard
Many folks who have renovated their kitchen or bathroom are familiar with stone showrooms. That’s where they go to select the stone product to be used in their project. Because of what I do for a living, I get to peek behind the fancy showroom into the work areas of the fabricator. It’s a very dangerous place. You’ll notice the heavy stone slabs are strapped tightly to their frames so they don’t fall over. […]
We Toured Post Greens’ Skinny House Project
Last Friday, Tamara and I were invited out by Chuck Weiss, project manager for Post Green, to check out their Skinny House Project. You can learn more about that project here: Skinny House We are really excited by Post Green’s innovative build process and we look forward to learning more from them. Their main approach to their home efficiency ratings (which are very high!) is a focus on air sealing. […]
Because Your Home Should Fit How You Live
Very few of us live in homes that were custom built for us. But this doesn’t mean your home shouldn’t fit how you want to live. Your home can be tailored to fit your needs. Our family stayed home this Memorial Day weekend. How wonderful it was to do so! We like to cook, have cocktails on the patio, and enjoy the views out of our windows into our yard. We have ample room to entertain and relax, and the house is easy to keep clean, so we don’t worry if friends come over with pets or children. […]
