From: "Jeff Brett" <jeffbrett@ns.sympatico.ca> Date: 2008-03-31 (Mon) 14:25:41 ADT To: <info@solarns.ca> Subject: Need your Guidance Hi folks, I am looking for information, or a steer to information, to help me with a retirement (dream) project. I currently own a log cabin on Molega Lake, Queens Co. It is approx. 27' x 27' and full (8 to 18") pine logs up to 9'. It is built on a conventional platform on top of 10" concrete walls 4' high. There is an open rafter system that provides another 1/2 level on the second floor. And that's it - it has no electricity, water or heating system. It is presently off the grid although NSPI lines are within 500 metres. It has been a great summer getaway for the last 10 years but now I want to improve it to a full service retirement home with all the amenities. Over the coming 2 years, I want to complete this little gem and do it with the best possible energy efficiency, in an environmentally friendly manner and at a reasonably cost. I expect to contract most of the work and progress in stages. I need some help in creating a plan to realize this goal and in identifying the products and people to get it done right. I appreciate any help you can provide. Best regards...JB
