Halifax - Howden and a partner own Denim traditional homes in the Annapolis valley, where they build high-end homes that use less energy and less water, without a windmill in the backyard. Traditional houses built by denim homes offer features like heat pumps, motion-sensor faucets and toilets that work two ways, just like a human's plumbing. Most of the customers who hire Denim see the wisdom of spending more money up front to save money in the long manner. During an interview on a cool day at his model traditional home, Howden demonstrated that the house is so "tight" that closing the windows and turning on the lights can raise the temperature perceptibly. Most of the lights in the house are fluroscent, even th pot lights in the kitchen, which use seven watts of electricity instead of 40. In general, solar-heated homes are more expensive to build is more of a function of higher-quality materials used by the owners of those houses. posted

As the first time homebuyers, Nick and Lindsi Barber are plowing most of their available cash into their down payment. Normally, that would be left little or no money for things such as landscaping and fencing or finishing their basement. But barbers wont be take out a clostly loan to put the finishing touches on their dream home. The couple, whose lehi home will be finished this fall, also planned to take the federal government up on its offer of a $7,500 incentive intended to boost the nation's sagging real estate market. Years of home price have put homeownership out of reach of many Utahns, especially first time buyers with low to moderate incomes and little cash. As in the other markets, the incentives will aimed to provide Utahns a boost by spurring them to buy many of the unsold new and existing homes languishing on the market. In levi, the barbers are watching their dream home will take the shape and marveling at their good timing. posted
