Our school is so proud of what they have done and I am glad that they won the people's choice award. I go to UL Lafayette and know a few people on Team Beausoleil.

I loved the Team Louisiana’s Beausoleil house, but I also loved Alberta... Minnesota, California and the Illinois houses were pretty impressive. I would live in any of the above houses... Craftsmanship in the Cornell house was amazing. It was a LOT of fun. I will definitely attend in 2011. I have some photos that I can post if you want or need more. (My opinion of several houses changed after viewing them at night... the IL house was a yawn til I saw it at night, gave it a second look and fell in love with it the next day. I decided on Wed to attend and drove down from Cleveland... it was SOOOOO worth the trip.

I went down four times and only managed to see 14 of the 20 houses. I can honestly say I would rather live in Louisiana's 800 sf house than my 2200 sf house. Take advantage of the site and check out all the videos and the various project websites. It's obvious a lot of work went into these houses. A lot can be learned here.

It would be nice if they would do something like that on the west coast too. I bet it was great to be able to see and tour all of these houses.
