Five years ago, I bought my first "shelter" -- a 1978 Deck House. The location was great, but the structure needed serious updating when it came to energy efficiency and healthy building science. This site is an offshoot of my reporting for print and television about the newest trends in home improvement, particularly "green" building and landscaping. I hope the ideas help as you improve your home. -- Gwendolyn Bounds
