Summary of Projects

I will use this post for a running summary of the major greenification projects that have gone on at our house/in our lives. You'll be able to find it easily in the future by clicking the SUMMARY OF PROJECTS category in the right column. I wish Blogger would let me create a page instead of a post, but I haven't figured that out yet, if it's even possible. Newest projects are at the top of the list.
