New blog highlights Northside green project

Two transplants from Oakland have started a new blog to document their green housing project in Northside.

Glen Parker Green Home is written by James and Heather Kinsman, who purchased 3.5 acres on Glen Parker Avenue (BIRD'S EYE) for $105,000 in November 2006.

According to Heather, their ideas for the house and land "are shaped by many concepts such as permaculture, alternative energy, peak oil, and sustainability to name a few".

They are currently finalizing their design of the 2,000-square-foot-plus house with Architects Plus, and construction may begin this year.
