net zero | passive house, western maryland: working outside while we still can

July 15, 2015

We now have our LP SmartSide up and looking more like a house, though we are hiding all of our fantastic details.  We have some warm and natural exterior colors waiting to be applied.

The garage and shop have also been built and will be a nice bonus space to this Western Maryland cold, snowy climate.

I took the time to learn about porch types – my favorite is the cedar porch.  The crew at Gosnell worked patiently with me to build what I had envisioned. It is thrilling to see in person and I’m looking forward to the final product with painted siding and stone porch.  The approach to the house is successfully comfortable and happy.
