I wish I had found this earlier ... or maybe not because it's a huge time destroyer.
The
GardenWeb site has a section on homes: building a house, appliances, renewable energy, garages, decks, wiring, cleaning, well you name it. People post questions and get great answers ... people post pictures of their works in progress or finished renovations / new builds. It's full of fascinating and amusing stories (one person asked if they should move in before finishing, and a respondent mentioned an uncle who had moved in and was using a temporary kitchen in the basement ... for 30 years!)
Anyway, at this point it will be helpful with appliances.
Another good forum is
Green Building Talk. It's a bit more technical, but short on pictures of houses and funny stories.
There is a chance you qualify for a new solar rebate program.
