Hi Brandon,

Ha - you're so right! I found that to be a little amusing myself, but it seems like the "red tape" always prevails.

I checked out your blog and really love the fact that you are so informed about green properties, and green issues in general. I'm also the blogger for Loudoun County and I wrote a piece on Loudoun's green movement a while back. You can view it here: http://washingtondc.redfin.com....

Thanks for stopping by!

I heard on the radio the other day that they'd started building the bleachers already--amazing! ABC's Extreme Makeover is able to demolish and construct a house in a week, yet it takes four months to erect bleachers.
