Many thanks to those of you who made it to our showcase. All agreed that the river location was not a bad place to be at the peak of fall color.

Much acclaim for reclaim. Many visitors commented on our (and client's) inventive reuse of materials--from the roof rafter stair rail to locally sourced elm flooring from Wood from the Hood to client Neil's showpiece closet, to a nearly edible bathroom vanity from Natural Built Home.

We'd especially like to thank those of our subcontractors, suppliers and designers, who so graciously donated their time and expertise. This esteemed group included…

Judy Kurtz, Larkspur Design, Inc., jlkurtz@comcast.net

Bitte Sertic, Sertic Light Source, Inc.

Rick Siewert, Wood from the Hood

Phil Amenrud, Builders/Webster Insulation, 763-560-5812

Joe Cain, Electric Connection, elconn_1@msn.com

Dan Krech, Glenbrook Lumber and Supply, Inc.

Abbott Paint (which graciously donated from its Benjamin Moore Aura line for this project).

Above and beyond thanks to Phil Christiansen of Complete Comfort Heating and Air Conditioning, Inc. for spending virtually the entire weekend on point. Phil has graciously offered to answer any lingering questions about multi-stage furnaces, Energy Recovery ventilators, HEPA and ultra-violet filtration, or other HVAC matters through our blog, so please feel free to fire away with questions in the comment section below.

A final thanks to Neil Cuthbert, Louise Robinson and their girls for adding to the show’s success with their hospitality, hard work, and many creative touches. Our showcase would not have happened without their vision and determination to improve their home in the most sustainable manner possible. Hopefully, in the near future, many others will follow suit.

Cheers,

Jay, Joe and crew
