Jessica James' Montauk home was built with green principles in mind. Nothing was wasted during site excavation (including stones that became the frame for a fireplace and garden stone wall), reclaimed materials were used (doors and kitchen cabinets from childhood home), and the home was designed with efficiency in mind including features such as radiant heat, structurally insulated panels, recycled denim insulation. The icing on this green cake is the 5.3kW solar electric system that provides Jessica's electricity.

Here's part 2 of Modern Green....I realized it's a bit small so next part I'm probably gonna expand it juuussttt a smidgen. I changed the roof! Yay! Hopefully dark grey works better. In the next part I plan on finishing up the interior and doing some landscaping. I'm kind of horrid at landscaping but I'll try my best. [I've picked up a few tricks from chrillsims3 hehe] The CC I used was just the kitchen cabinets...they are from the Bayside set from the Sims 3 store...LOVE THEM! :] The ep's I have for the game are WA and Ambitions, but I only used store content in the house :] Want to download it?

Bob Schmidt tells you some things you need to consider when using cabinets that have been previously used in a different location with a different design.

"Reported by: Erin Calandra Tuesday, Apr 1, 2008 @05:56pm EST CLARION COUNTY - LEEPER, PA - A Leeper based cabinet company is doing their part to be environmental friendly. Kahle's Kitchens is recycling almost all of their waste, but they say they're not going green. They've been green all along. More environmentally friendly than ever before, Kahle's Kitchens recycles the wood waste from wood scraps leftover from building kitchen cabinetry. Your kitchen cabinets start out as a single piece of wood, and there is a lot of waste that occurs when cutting the cabinets. Kahle's Kitchen has 5 tons of wood waste every single day. Instead of sending it to a landfill, they've found a way to recycle it. Kahle's General Manager, Dawn Groft, says from cardboard to scarp wood, and even cleaning rags - everything is reused. They have even taken their wood scraps and turned them into heat. During the summer they turn the wood scraps into bio-bricks used to heat houses in the winter. They say the state of the art equipment is expensive, but it's paid for itself. The cost of disposal is greater than the cost to recycle the materials, saving Kahle's Kitchens money in disposal fees and saving the environment at the same time."
