2009 Clark County Parade of Homes. See it here first! (BOOTLEG photos!)
A few days ago, I had the opportunity to walk through the new 2009 Clark County Parade of Homes site and tour the homes that are currently being constructed. Security is tight and there are no public tours available. I managed to get invited to walk through each of the homes with the BIA's Parade of Homes marketing committee. This year's parde is being held at Camellia, Clark County's newest gated community. Camellia's parklike setting will be the perfect venue for this year's event. I can tell you that these homes … (1 comments)

For those of us who aren't willing to take the time to mix up our own cleaners (or don't care for the smell of vinegar!), there are also ready-made cleaning products that are less hazardous than many traditional household cleaners. Just because you aren't going to make your own, doesn't mean that you have to put your family's health at risk. Look in the health or natural food sections of your grocery store or visit a store that specializes in eco-friendly types of products. Some brand names of "earth-friendly" products are:
Bi-O-Kleen, Citra-Solv, Earth Friendly Products, ECOS, Planet, Seventh Generation, SoapWorks, … (3 comments)

Crayon mark remover
A simple solution for removing crayon marks from walls, floors, counters, cabinets, and furniture is to rub the area with toothpaste and a damp cloth. Do not use on non-vinyl wallpaper. Stay away from the colored gels and toothpastes with mouthwash or sparkles!

model homes: Another Green Home at the Clark County Parade of Homes - The Cottage - 08/29/08 01:45 PM
Clark County Parade of HomesThe 2008 Clark Parade of Homes in Vancouver Washington is also home the "The Cottage."
This beautiful home was built by Tamarack Homes. In my opinion, this is the greenest home at the parade, just ahead of the "Green Haus" which is located right around the corner.
The "Green-ness" of this European cottage style home comes in several ways. Special attention was paid during planning and construction in order to become LEED certified:
The walls were built using 24" on center studs, allowing more space for insulation as well as using less lumber.
The stucco finish was … (12 comments)

The "Green Haus" was built by Axiom Luxury Homes specifically for the Parade of Homes. I had the opportunity to walk through it last week and I can tell you that living "Green" in a sustainably built home doesn't mean that you will have to make any sacrifices.
This gorgeous home sports Eldorado Stone accents, Skirl siding with cedar trim, cedar board and bat, and pervious pavers to mitigate rainwater runoff.
