  1. Off to Toronto tomorrow for a little more energy audit training - can never have too much!!!
  2. the nice thing about living in a border city: I get to celebrate American Thanksgiving too!
  3. Just had a call to do energy evaluations on 70 townhouse units - so much for taking a few weeks off!!
  4. This weekend I replaced a circa 1951 door in my circa 1926 house - the airtightness improvement is substantial.
  5. My wife is from Transylvania, everyday is like Halloween here.
  6. Yes it does!! RT@OldHouseWeb Our blog rules, it rules oh so much. http://bit.ly/1e6SZS
  7. I had a client today get an energy audit just because he wanted to know how to make his house more efficient, no mention of rebates!!
  8. @mfrencher very good point!!
  9. ya know.... if we gave more thought to energy efficiency when we built houses we wouldn't have to worry as much about half-assed retrofits!
  10. Love this cool weather - air infiltration shows up dramatically with the infrared imager.
  11. @mfrencher so true - main concern is the rebates.
  12. I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll depressurize your house.
  13. Patience is a virtue. It isn't the only virtue I lack.
  14. ahhh.... Autumn: the days get shorter, the leave turn colours, the crisp Autumn air seeps into your home driving up your heating bills.
  15. I just read that the average house in Canada loses 30-60% of it's heat to air leakage. I can find the leaks. I'm waiting for your call :)
  16. 2 energy audits and 1 home inspection today..... good day, time to relax :)
  17. @retrotec yep - they are very versatile tools.... in the right hands!
  18. I'm off to London, ON Thurs. morning for Advanced Blower Door Training on an Energy Star model home.
  19. Had another client say "... if these walls could talk" Folks, if the walls are speaking, it likely means the house is haunted.
  20. Drafty houses waste money. It's not rocket science - it's building science.
