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.

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/blog/2008/05/loudoun_county_how_green_is_my_valley.html.
Thanks for stopping by!
