I'm sure you'll be glad I'm back as I have an enviro answer for your problem. You guys should be planting large native trees on your south/east exposure to block the morning sun from heating up your house. Trees planted on the south/west exposure will help block the afternoon sun fro heating your house in the afternoon hours. You can amend this based on your requirements for sun on your deck, but your energy costs will rise. Otherwise, do as suggested and save money on your energy bills. Enviro girl is all about saving money.

Ducky, you should seriously consider looking into passive solar as it could save you up to 50% on your energy costs - all just for how you lay out your house and windows. No one would even suspect you're a greenie as the house would look normal.

Anything else?

Anyone else having the most crappy day of their entire life today?

come on girl friend...at least give me a City & State...PM or e-mail me...I PROMISE NOT TO TELL ANYONE...

btw...I will be building as green as i can afford too
