Industry
pitches in for Extreme Home Makeover of a Houston family’s home
Special to CONTRACTOR
HOUSTON — A real testament to our industry was shown in late July and
early August. On behalf of the Viega Corp., CONTRACTOR Magazine
Publisher Dan Ashenden was invited down to Houston to participate in the
one-week “Extreme Makeover – Home Edition” build of a home in
Houston’s impoverished 3rd Ward.
Needless to say, conditions in Houston in July can be summed up in two
words — hot and sticky! It is always amazing, though, to see how
companies, groups and individual people come together for a worthy
cause, no matter the conditions.

Colleges
are ‘greening’ their campuses
BY CANDACE ROULO
It’s that time of year: college students know their
summer is about over and are planning to return to school in a few
weeks. It’s especially exciting for college freshman. Hopefully they
are going to their college of choice. As I remember, there’s a lot to
consider when deciding what college is the best fit: academic offerings,
athletics, social environment, tuition, living expenses, etc. And now
you can add sustainability to the list.
According to Robert Franek, Princeton Review senior vice
president/publisher, there is a rising interest among students in
attending green colleges.
