Colleyville Eco House

I'm a couple of weeks behind with this post, but better late than never.  We took a trip to the Colleyville Eco House a couple of weeks ago on my Saturday off.
We saw this helecopter putting air conditioners on the roof of a new school in Mansfield on the way there.
We had to park about half a mile away and ride the shuttle to the house.  They still had a little landscaping to finish up.
I liked this sculpture over the fireplace.
There was some cool tile in the kitchen.
Our tour was led by the architect who designed the house.  I liked that because I think we got information from him that we wouldn't have gotten from some of the other guides.
The had a nice yard.  The water in the pool is actually used by the HVAC system to cool the house at certain times of the year.
The counter tops were made out of recycled glass.  Very pretty but also pretty expensive.


The media room had a stage where your kids band could perform.



These ceiling fans were cool.
On the way home we drove past Jerry World.  That place is huge.  Can you see the guys standing on the top?
