“Remember to Dream…”

Fallbrook Fire SurvivorsFallbrook Fire Survivors, Kenneth and Shannon Rexrode are in the process of rebuilding their sustainable dream home. The Rexrodes see this as a once in a lifetime opportunity.
“I was determined to rebuild a home that would virtually be fire proof, very green, and extremely energy efficient,” said Kennth Rexrode.
“I wanted to be a part of the future and build something creative and highly energy efficient.”

Some of the Rexrode’s energy-efficient features include: Solar Panels, Solar Water Heating, a cool roof system, reclaimed lumber from the same fire that burned the original home, energy-efficient windows, drought/fire resistant landscaping and electric car charge ports to utilize solar energy for vehicles.
The new home has a Title 24 rating of more than 68 percent.
“At this point, we’re about 75% finished and just can’t wait to move into our Green, solar powered Pueblo,” said Rexrode.
Their rebuilding advice…”Remember to have fun and to dream a little bit.”
