Free Rebuilding Seminars


With the increase in hurricane damage to local properties and the rising
cost of utilities, homeowners are looking for ways to build stronger, safer,
and more energy-efficient as they renovate. UNO-CHART's Rebuilding
Information Station holds free seminars several times a week on a range of
important rebuilding topics such as weatherproofing, solar energy, termite
protection, and more. See our calendar
<http://louisianarebuilds.info/event/2008/09/24/month>  for upcoming
seminars and our Homeowners section
<http://louisianarebuilds.info/homeowners#rebuild>  for more information on
the Rebuilding Information Station.
