Thanks, Norbert, <br>

Found the site and sent off an e-mail. Sadly, they've ceased
production. <br>

<div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"> Hello Listers<br>
<br>
I am on the third house and hope I can impose with a few
questions to those who've much more experience than I.
I've only built from scratch, so have no feel for the
following.<br>
<ol>
<li>What has been your experience with raising and
extensively rehabing (new windows, insulation,
sealing, etc.) a cottage. I'm considering a lot that
has an existing cottage that may be usable as a second
story "shell". The existing structure is on piers,
with reasonable air circulation underneath, so may be
structurally viable. it's 40' x 18.5'. It has no
insulation and the windows are old single glazed and
damaged. Siding is crappy looking but not rotten...I'd
likely replace it as part of the insulation/sealing.
Interior walls are hardboard or plywood and would go.
I'd likely larsen truss the exterior and insulate to
R-40</li>
<li>Which is best: insulated slab on grade or an
insulated crawl space? The conservation folks (and I
agree) will not allow a basement, due to the water
table. <br>
</li>
<li>Because of the time of year and my ability to find
reliable folks to work, I'm considering using a prefab
shell. I care that any structure I use is well-sealed
and insulated (walls R-40) Has anyone had any
experience with GreenTerraHomes? Are there any others
out there, or folks in the York/Durham Region who
anyone knows are familiar with low energy construction</li>
</ol>
<p>MANY thanks for any advice you have!<br>
