Plans for this week:
- get a crane to lift the roll bars out of the basement
- finish putting the Insul-tarp on the basement floor
- finish putting the wire mesh and the Wirsbo tubing in
- pour the floor
We got a flyer in our last Ottawa Hydro bill touting Hydro Ottawa Supports Canada’s First ENERGY STAR® for New Homes Community (pdf here). I called Hydro Ottawa to see what they meant when they say they "support this initiative". I spoke to a number of really nice people (who actually returned phone calls!!). It turns out that Hydro Ottawa is paying for an energy evaluation for the new homes in this community (about $100). I asked if our house would be eligible, and today I heard from a guy at Hydro Ottawa that yes, they would cover our house since we are planning an R-2000 house. Great!!! So I will call him back tomorrow to discuss.
In other news, we should get a Grapevine sign on our house tomorrow... Not sure if you have seen the Google satellite images (or Google Earth), but it's pretty cool. We can actually see our cedar deck behind our house.
