Hello Green Power Talk.

After 5 years, we’ve put together a movie of our project. Don’t worry about sound, there isn’t any.

Here is the link to our 1899 renewable energy farm house project on CNN's iReport website.

The movie is 18 minutes long and includes pictures of:

The farm house we moved 33 miles and restored.
Wind turbine installation
Solar thermal instillation
Insulation of our home
Building cedar storm windows
Our Electric truck
Compact fluorescent vs. incandescent bulb comparisons

The movie was originally 25 minutes long but CNN chopped it down to 18 minutes.

Also, just a reminder that Earth Day is 22 April 2008.

Enjoy, thanks, Sharon, Jian & Art.

P.S. we still have all our fingers and toes!

Hi Art,

Welcome to Green Power Talk, and thank you for the slide show of your house. You have a beautiful place! It is an inspiration to see what you have done.

Amazing that it's possible to move a house this size for 33 miles! That's some distance...
