Yesterday's visit to the National Home Show yielded some great information. We learned that if we use ICF we can save money on materials and labour used in a traditional wall assembly (exterior insulation, framing, vapour and air barrier and exterior sheathing). Excited to get a quote to take our R value from R20 to R40!
We also learned that for less than $100 we can 'rough-in' a grey water recycling system to do down the road so we have put that into the project plan. We can take all of our shower and tub water and use it for the toilets in the new house saving 30-40% of our water bill while saving the environment!

Gazebo & shed saved from landfill!
Two great recycles: A friend of a friend has just confirmed that they will be coming to dismantle, transport and re-use our gazebo and a contact from Kijiji is taking our old shed!
