The construction of Kaslo Passive House is well under way!

The frame is raised and the walls are being build.

A huge Thanks to Daphne Hunter for taking these pictures!

    Hajo, this looks stunning. Who did all the timber work for you?

      Thanks Hans! The timberwork was done by Chris Petersen from Argenta.

    On second look, I realize you are right up there installing the frame. Did you do all prefabrication of the timbers or did you have that done?

      I’m sorry Hans, you’re mistaken – Regrettably I was not there during the raising…
      The installation was done by Chris, Hans Winter (another timber framer from Argenta), Shawn Handley (the builder) and Marty Cyr (Shawn’s helper).
