During the day I’d work on the iPhone, then I’d come home and pore over specs for our house, choosing finishes and materials and solar panels and, eventually, tackling the HVAC system. This needed to be an easy DIY project, a quick upgrade. A year later we decided to build a new, superefficient house in Tahoe. People loved it.
