Hello!

I know updates have been slow coming, but here’s some exciting news: you get to tell us what color to paint the first HGTV Green Home! Starting this Friday, we’ll have a poll up with three options for exterior color schemes and you can vote for your favorite.

In other news, our cohorts over at HGTV Pro have just launched their new feature, Building the 2008 HGTV Green Home. And they’ve already got the first photos from the job site in South Carolina!

And yes, that’s right, HGTV Green Home 2008 is being built in South Carolina. I know there’s been just a bit of confusion in the comments. We’ll have more information soon about the exact location. And starting in late March of 2008, you’ll be able to enter for a chance to win the home!

Thanks for the guesses! It looks like Oregon and Vermont are the favorites so far. And I’ll go ahead and answer a couple of your questions.

“Does this ‘soon’ mean it will be another month before we get any hints? Hahaha!”
