NEXT LIA MEETING - Thursday September 17th. 5:30 PM. Potluck, bring a dish to share and BYOB if you would like. LHS Beach Schoolhouse, 33 Beach Road
James Rossi, LIA President, will talk about the "Building a New Home in Nine Days"!
"Building a house in nine days sounds almost impossible, but that’s exactly what we did.
The home was built in a factory, piece by piece, where the walls and major sections could be constructed with precision and care, protected from the weather and ready to go when they arrived on site. Once everything was trucked to the property, we put the house together in just nine days.
The entire project—from the first steps of construction to a finished home—took only seven months, but speed wasn’t the only goal. We wanted to build a home that would be comfortable, efficient, and produce its own energy. Solar panels provide enough electricity to power the entire house, making it a home that can generate as much energy as it uses over the course of a year.
For me, the project was about showing what’s possible when we rethink the way we build homes: less time on the job site, more precision in the factory, and a finished home that is better for both the people who live in it and the environment."
