023: How To Build A Nontoxic Home with Green-Building Expert Andy Pace
Often times, home builders and contractors are more concerned with low costs instead of building a nontoxic home. The result? Poor building materials that can lead to major health issues years down the road.
Andy Pace is a nationally recognized expert in green and nontoxic home building. He is truly a wealth of knowledge when it comes to choosing building materials that are safe for you and your family to live in many years down the road. I had the opportunity to work with Andy when I was building my own home and I’m excited for you to get a taste of some of the eye-opening information I have learned from him.
In this discussion, we chat about what a human healthy home is, how to avoid huge home contaminators, and high impact priorities you can focus on to start building a nontoxic home today.
