Afterwards, I was fortunate to speak to several young gentlemen regarding insulation of hot water pipes, which saves money (electric bill), water, and power production (coal, etc.).

Unfortunately, I had to leave promptly and was not able to go into much detail, though I left a flyer of materials which we use when we insulate houses, including Habitat for Humanity homes.

Asheville Go is to be commended for all your good work, not only for the benefits mentioned above but also for the gratification a person feels when completing the job.

If you need information regarding the insulation process, you are welcome to contact me.

I lived in western NC for 18 years and one day hope to return. One main reason is because of such programs as Asheville Go.

President Obama wants to create 5 million of them over the next decade. What isn’t clear is how the US is going to prepare this workforce.
