Oakhurst Green Home Finished

July 31, 2008 | 9:48 am

Looks like the Oakhurst Green Home is finally complete/nearing completion.

Episodes are scheduled to air on the hard-to-find “Planet Green” network next month (Aug 7th and 14th at 6pm). But since the episodes are on a network that I don’t subscribe to, plus I can’t find anything on Comcast “On Demand”, I guess I’ll have to satisfy my voyeur-tendencies with these pics from the AJC of Oakhurst’s newest landmark home.

Also, it seems the house (601 Third St.) has a blog (If I knew this at any point, I promptly forgot it) to view ongoing progress.

So, here’s my $64,000 question…does the house use more energy now (at 2,300 sq ft) than when it was just 900 sq. feet?

    I would just say that was a great question! I would like to know how much of a premium was paid to “Go Green”.

    IMHO, the green movement would have more ammunition if they could make being green more affordable.

    The home will also be featured on this years Decatur Holiday Candlelight Tour of HOmes in December, along with other green homes in the city!
