HGTV Green Home Giveaway!?

Question by gossip_palms: HGTV Green Home Giveaway!?
My mom is a little hopeful about winning the contest. I know its like one in a billion, but I have to stay positive for her. I have a couple of questions. Do you think you can add 2-3 more bedrooms or a bath or two if you win, coming from your own money? Is there enough land to do so? See, well we have a 5 bedroom, 3 bath, half an acre lot, now in metro ATL… So it wouldn’t be big enough, but hey its a free house. So, we were thinking if we win, we can make it like a summer home or add some bedrooms, sell our house, and go live in SC. We are probably not that far away… Which one do you think is a better idea if we win? How is the area around there? I’m an Native Floridian so I don’t know much about the area? How are the schools? Is Hardeeville by the beach, and do they get hurricanes? Any feedback is fine. Thanks, good luck everyone!

I hope you are kidding.

It’s called the GREEN house, not ‘use-more -energy- because -we- are- adding- more- rooms’ house. If you win, and you use it like a summer home… again, you are still using too much energy for having two houses. Does your family NEED two houses? Does anyone? No, I really don’t think so.
This is probably towards the top of the list on being hypocritical and selfish. You don’t care about being green, you care about winning a house.

THe Green House Giveaway is like a dream come true for most people, but in such hard times and so many people are looking for jobs. What do you think will happen to this winning couple?

Its going to be great at the beginning, but later on there are some things to worry about – paying the taxes and maintaining it. And to top it off, its going to be really hard to sell this house if they decide they can’t keep it. I only hope the winning couple can afford to live in such a wonderful home and not face bankruptcy at the end because they are trying to sell one home and maintain the other.

Good Luck to the winner!

People make fun of Port St. Lucie (where the house is) all the time, I’ve never been there. What’s up with that?
