A great sustainable choice you can make when buying a home is to choose something that needs TLC rather than building from the ground up. With the huge number of foreclosures and abandoned homes on the market there are great deals out there for those who are looking. Here are 10 whole home remodels (that keep sustainability in mind) going on right now that you can follow along in real-time.
Watch these bloggers as they struggle with DIY projects, ponder how to best insulate their drafty homes, choose economical and green materials and embark on lots of other adventures. You've probably seen a few of these blogs already but I'm sure at least a couple are new to your radar. Check them out!

fantastic!! I've been looking for new blogs for motivation to get back to work on renovating our 100+ year old home... It's been three years of hard work, and there's still much to be done. Thanks for such a timely post!
Great post :)

Thank you so much for the wonderful mention, re-nesters! Yes, we're slowly turning this rough diamond of ours into a brilliantly sparkling gem. Long way to go though...
Watch this space!
