Last November we decided to retire the Gatehouse...we'll show you pictures of how we did it in a future BLOG...and then on May 19 we began the process of constructing a new straw bale home. When done it will be about 2500 sq ft with 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a den/bedroom and a huge living area looking down to the lake. Evolve Builders have been contracted to do the work (learn more about them and straw bale construction by visiting http://www.yourhome.ca/homes/article/615983). If all goes as planned it will be ready in Spring 2010. To do this we are working towards getting the foundation and roof on before the summer holidays. We'll then stop much of the work for July and August and resume again after Labour Day. This is an exciting project for us as it further solidifies our commitment to be a prime example of an eco friendly resort. To our knowledge, this will be the first straw bale cottage to be built at a resort. We haven't given the new building a name yet and we would be keen to hear any suggestions.
