The Hoots Group is the builder of the 2010 Southern Building Show Showcase House. To help document the progress, we have been shooting videos of the green products being installed.
We have posted all of these videos on You Tube for you to view and learn more about the products that we are using and recommend.

Yummy!
I found a way to equate green construction to the Marine Corps, so why not create an analogy between sausage and standard construction.
Now, every time you bite into your next sausage link you will think about us. Why is that? We all know what goes into making sausage, however we really don’t care to know much about the process. Much like your home. I would prefer not to know what went into the most houses. Unfortunately, since I am a renovator and a new builder, I get to uncover the jewels left behind for us under the Sheetrock. Ever go to a new construction site and think “thanks God this is not my house”? There is trash is the duct work, urine in the bathtub, who knows what type of human waste in a five gallon Sheetrock bucket. I have seen much worse which I cannot post on my blog. Of course not on our construction sites.
Why the graphic images? Well, green home building is a completely different process. A green home is more than the products that go into the home, it is the process of how it is built that makes it green as well. Green homes are not like sausage, they are kind of fun to watch going up. The sites are cleaner, the trash is recycled, and the duct-work is protected. You would think that this is code, it is not. It is just good builder practice.
We at The Hoots Group, are so confident in our site cleanliness, that we are showcasing one of our projects on Facebook and have a website for it. Since it will be built to EarthCraft House and LEED for Homes standards, you can be assured that there is “no sausage making on our site.”
