Made in America Challenge

In Bozeman, Montana, Anders Lewendal is hard at work building a home he hopes will be a blueprint for creating jobs in America. Lewendal, an economist turned builder, is constructing a house made entirely from American-made products. Everything from the nails, screws and bolts, to the steel, staples and bathtub is made in the United States.Lewendal is convinced that if every builder used 5% more American materials we would create 220,000 jobs right now and many economists agree.

Please take a moment by clicking here or on the image to view a short video detailing this Made in America venture featured on ABC World News.

For a complete printable list of the products Lewendal is using to build the Made in America house click here.

Mike Holt Comment: I am proud to say that all Mike Holt Products are Produced and Printed in the USA. Additionally, I’ll be building a home next year and I plan on using as many Made in America products as I can locate. I will only employ legal US citizens and will choose contractors that live within 10 miles of my home so that I can help the local economy.

If anyone has a product that they would like me to install in my home, please contact me directly at Mike@MikeHolt.com. Please help to create more jobs and use materials that are Made in America!

Mike, Thank you for a great reminder, and good luck on your "My House is Made in America" endeavor. I wrote Architectural specifications for many years and always tried to specify products that were manufactured locally, regionally, or at least made in America (in that order); it wasn't always easy to do - but in my opinion, it definitely is worth the effort! We need to make a concious effort to help ourselves through these rough economic times. Heck, some of the gifts I had intended to buy this past Christmas were abandoned and replaced by other ideas because of an inability to find the original present in an American made product.
