A Great Home Repair Project
The kitchen is the focal point of most homes today. We don't just prepare, cook and eat our meals in it; it is also the place where everyone gathers to relax, have a chat or a cup of coffee and we even do our informal entertaining in the kitchen. This is one of the main reasons that remodeling the kitchen is one of the top priorities for most homeowners. Remodeling your kitchen will give you a new room that will suit the lifestyle and needs of the modern family.

The StarvingCarpenter.com Launches Website To Help Remodeling and Home Repair Contractors Manage and Grow Their Business
With millions of contractors to choose from, many lacking basic business and follow up skills, The Starving Carpenter.com seeks to elevate small businesses from the fold through customer focus and business planning
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (Business Wire EON) January 24, 2008 -- Offering more value and significant savings, Trilogy homes will be built with solar technology, green fiber recycled insulation, and wood from certified sustainable forests whenever possible; they will utilize weather-responsive sprinkler systems, motion and occupancy sensor lighting, and energy efficient windows, air conditioning, appliances and much more.
With average energy and resource savings of 20% vs conventionally built non-green homes, Shea Certified Green(R) homes exceed by approximately 30% the International Energy Code. Among the savings are:
-- 50% reduction in the therms associated with heating water
-- 75%, 40% and 41% declines in kWh used from lighting, clothes washers and dishwashers, respectively
The CO2 that will be saved in Trilogy's anticipated production of 20,000 homes over the next ten years, at just a 20% reduction, is the equivalent of:
-- 8,660,000 gallons of gasoline
-- 77,000 barrels of oil
-- 6,380 acres of carbon reducing forest
-- 3,180,000 propane cylinders used in home barbeques
In contrast, the Home Builders Association of Northern California pledged last week to cut the amount of energy used in the houses it creates by 50% and to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 30% by the year 2020. While this ambitious pledge exceeds California's current construction standards, Shea Certified Green(R) will achieve these goals 13 years sooner.
"Our goal, from last quarter forward, is to build every Trilogy home to be more eco-friendly and more energy wise and efficient than those built by any other national builder," said Rick Andreen, President of Shea Homes Active Lifestyle Communities. "We intend to deliver this superior product without an astronomical premium--certainly more cost effectively than retro-fitting an existing home to Shea Certified Green(R) standards."
"Trilogy by Shea Homes has made a multi-million dollar annual, ongoing commitment in operational and product changes to support this evolution in the company's building culture," said Andreen. "Trilogy communities are places where members celebrate life through exploration, connectivity and wellness. The Shea Certified Green(R) standard is a natural extension of our commitment to caring about our community and our planet," he said.
Andreen noted that "the power of Shea Certified Green(R) is that it aggregates small improvements that collectively make a big difference in how a home functions. Many homes functioning more efficiently will make a huge difference in the impact our communities have on the environment," he said.
The Shea Certified Green(R) standards exceed, by 50%, those of the Environments for Living(R) Certified Green Rating, a highly reputed program that has been the benchmark by which builders measure their "green" performance. "The Environments for Living(R) program was a great start for us," said Andreen. "It opened our eyes. Then we quickly realized that new, higher standards were needed if we are truly going to make a difference. And making a difference is what drives us."
