Well, here it is.
Our first attempt at a blog. This will hopefully cover the story of our life in Nova Scotia and the building of our new passive solar house.
In the initial blimey stage at the moment. Getting ideas for the house plan/style and researching alternative technologies for powering the house to cover for electric outages and for future global events (more of that later maybe) We have found an ideal plot of land just 15 minutes drive from our existing house in town, but out on the side of a mountain (well, it is a mountain for Cape Breton anyway, some might call it a hill) The land already has a septic tank, drilled well, driveway and grid connection, with about 3 acres of the 50 acres cleared and a brook running in the valley at the end of the plot. Hopefully we'll be able to put in an offer within the next week so we can start stage 1 of the process.
The picture above shows the view from the plot (where the house will hopefully be built) to the road. As you can see, there are rather a lot of trees around!!
Think that will do for the time being.
