Art Smith

Art Smith's later career of designing/fabricating Timber Trusses and the resulting home designs was built on the foundation of the earlier career of design engineering & manufacturing in North Georgia. Similarly, his new book , The "PRACTICAL GREEN" Retirement Abode (2025) as well as the earlier SIMPLE S.I.P. HOMES (2020), enhances the experience gained from the EnergyStar rated home from his first book: BUILDING TODAY'S GREEN HOME (2009).

Essentially, we need to improve the quality of homes built in the U.S.A. to be stronger, faster assembly, lower-energy use , and lower maintenance, and more practical, in general. The challenge here is to address well-thought-out, proven, processes to achieve that goal.
