Hi guys and gals! As many of you probably already know, we've taken time off music (and internet forums…) to do a major renovation on our 1939 farmhouse. It's pretty close to being done and we're playing music again for the first time in almost 2 years!!! Yay!!
Since we tried really hard to make our house and renovation eco-friendly, we thought it would be fun to enter this Green Home Challenge. What's cool about it is it's co-sponsored by a surfing organization and the winner gets to go to LA for a celebrity surf contest and surfing lesson! What's even COOLER is that past celebrities have been big-time bassers like Flea!!!
We've made it to the 10 finalists and we're currently in 3rd place. You don't have to sign up or anything, but it's limited to one vote per IP address. So if you wouldn't mind passing this along to everyone you know, maybe we can go to LA and represent bassers everywhere! (And maybe we can meet some of you guys along the way!!)
Thanks a million!
Amy

Amy, what a great house! I'd love to do that to my 1950 house! Needs some renovation and eats up a lot of electricity! Course Southwest Louisiana is a boiler too! Great renovation and I particularly love the sunroom with the adorable kitty in the chair! :) Vote done! GOOD LUCK:)

Thanks, you guys!!!! Dang, I
Thanks, you guys!!!! Dang, I wasn't getting response notifications – sorry it's taken me so long to respond!!
Thanks so much for voting – we're only 10 votes behind second place! And thanks for the kind words on the house. This past couple of years have tested my resolve and sanilty more than anything I've ever gone through, so it's nice to come out the other end and be happy with the results! I can't tell you how exciting it is to have a kitchen and not eat frozen dinners for every meal.
Well, if you think of people to pass the link on to, by all means feel free!

I voted.
when I get home I will vote from my home compy too.
your house is alot like mine. in the fact that it has many walls, windows and a roof. Mine also has doors. no floor to speak off tho. We have to use a series of monkey bars and rope swings to get around the house, as there is a bottomless pit there instead of tile or carpet. Our tv is mounted on the wall. We went thru like, 2 tvs and tv stands before we figured that one out.
good luck on your contest.
rock.

yep, my house sounds like yours, Dan
It's a bottomless pit that you throw money into.
A little bit like Levi's boat ahaha (except you'd call that a hole in the ocean that you throw money into!!)

Second place!
Just wanted to let you guys know we won second!!! We were in fourth place up until the final day or two but a big, color, front page story in our little hometown newspaper helped propel us to second. Yay! Thanks for all your help!
Sorry to be so late in responding; once they decided the winners for sure we were deep into Grandma care – she was unconscious and without food and water for 6 days until she finally passed. My family took turns sitting with her round-the-clock. My sister and I were with her when she passed at 4 AM. Since then we've been sorting through 92 years of belongings in a house where she lived 50 years. Lots of work, that's for sure.
