Our green journey continues ...

After a visit to Lowe's we are investigating a cool counter-top made from called: Eco by Consentino : a revolutionary new line of eco-friendly kitchen countertop and surfacing material composed of 75% recycled material, including glass, mirrors, porcelain and stone scrap and is bound by an environmentally friendly resin which comes in part from corn oil.

I have secured someone to come and take the old hardwoods and the windows for reuse!! My cousin is interested in the old kitchen! Reduce and recycle!

Bye bye trees!

Our silver maple and scots pine are gone :( but as sad as we are - it opens up the backyard and makes the new home just that more real!

Let's make geo work!

Geo is something we REALLY want to do but we are struggling with vendors. We hope to hear from our lead vendor ASAP as this needs to be part of our building permit application.

Jamie from Orangeville takes our gazebo

Jamie and family worked all weekend to dismantle the lovely gazebo and take it to Orangeville for it's next life - maybe I will find my gold bracelet I lost 5 years ago!

We have our builder!

We are thrilled to have chosen Serenity Homes to build our new home! Check out Steven's website at http://www.serenity-homes.ca/

It was a tough decision, taking 6 to 3, then choosing 1 of 3. If anyone is looking for builders, drop me a line!
