Sunday the Extreme Makeover‘s army of volunteers will begin construction on the 3,300 sq ft monster in Hattiesburg, MS. This will be the 167th home built by the ABC Makeover crews. My part? As the home’s green building verifier I’ll be traveling to the “Hub City” at 3:30 or 4:00 a.m. (I should have my head examined) on Monday the 7th for the faming inspection and thermal bypass checklist…(now that should be the news story…that someone was able to get my butt out-a-bed that early for work…)    ..    then midday Monday I’ll be back here in Jackson to work with the judges in the Growing a Greener Mississippi green building contest. They’ll look at 3 homes…Scott Shoemaker’s place and Randy Berg’s two houses.  Silver Level – all three of’um.

Remember the first place builder in the contest gets 50,000 green backs. Second and third ain’t chump-change…30,000 and 20,000 respectively.

Tuesday we’re off to Oxford and Starkville. One Silver and one Gold. Wednesday we cruse down south Mississippi to Biloxi and Gulfport, again one Silver and one Gold Level to judge. Before the day’s end I’ll visit Hattiesburg again for a final inspection at the Makeover home. I’m sure I’ll be “extremely” tired by then…
