HGTV’s Green Home Giveaway

I just received an email from HGTV about the Green Home they are giving away in 2008. This is a separate giveaway from the Dream Home 2008.

Next year — in addition to the HGTV Dream Home 2008 in Florida — you'll be able to enter the very first HGTV "Green" Home Giveaway for a chance to win a custom-built, fully-furnished home!

Today's construction materials and building practices provide many options for environmentally-friendly elements to be incorporated into a home. The HGTV Green Home is designed to demonstrate that you don't have to be extreme to be green. Through thoughtful design and selection of products, the HGTV Green Home features the latest building technology and easily attainable materials to create a beautiful, comfortable home that provides affordable examples for consumers who want to minimize their impact on the environment.

Looks like it will be another huge giveaway next year. I can't wait!

Keep checking back here for updates!

The Winner of HGTV Dream Home 2007

News Guy — Thu, 22 Mar 2007 09:02:05 +0000

I'm sure it wasn't me, but Robert O'Neill Sr. from Tennessee is the winner of the Dream Home 2007. The prize includes the dream house at the skiing resort in Winter Park, Colorado, and a GMC Acadia crossover SUV. Also there is a $250,000 cash prize to cover the tax & expenses.

I just watched the video of the winner getting a surprise at a restaurant and it was really exciting to watch the winner getting the prize. There have been some bitter comments going on online stating that he wasn't excited when he heard the news. Well, I think he was in shock, and it took some time for him to realize what he had just won. He looked sincere and I believe he well deserves it.

Congratulations to Robert O'Neill Sr. and hope that you enjoy the Dream House!
