Via Reclaimed Home: Build It Forward With Eco Brooklyn
by brooklynmodern | August 20th, 2009
Two of my favorite Brooklyn bloggers, Reclaimed Home and Eco Brooklyn collaborated on this video about green building a brownstone. I’m eagerly waiting for part 2.

Last week I visited the Eco Brooklyn house in Carroll Gardens and spoke with Gennaro Brooks-Church about his project. Well, ok, if it doesn’t look like Gennaro is talking to the camera, that’s because I piggybacked on a contractor’s job interview. Anyhoo, please excuse my lack of editing skills….still haven’t learned a thing.
All of the material used in this restoration was recycled! Crazy used stuff I’ve never been able to get my hands on, like sheetrock and plywood. This guy’s got connections, baby!
Part II will be a tour of the house, a work in progress. I’ve really gotta figure out how to edit that bit though.
