Hello Will, Michelle,

We've read your posts and enjoyed your pics and movie. It's wonderful how your home fits right into the landscape. It's inspirational for us who've been planning to build a quonset home for several years near Georgian Bay.

I agree absolutely with your thoughts on polyurethane insulation. Fortunately, I've got some experience applying this stuff and will not hesitate to rent the equipment and do it myself. I also agree with your other recommendations though I'll be opting for the concrete floor. I think the wood floor made good sense in your environment, though we'll likely be building in a flat open area suited for passive geothermal heating. Also, the building site will not be far from a paved road, so getting cement trucks in will not be a problem.

You've got a lovely bit of heaven there, and I know how spiritually uplifting the mountains can be. Our present living is rather suburban (in Niagara), but we've got a lovely private garden and a pretty cool livingspace. Still, we yearn for the chill of our beloved Georgian Bay and will be buying a property up there, we hope, this year. We've already been looking for a couple years and haven't yet found the just right spot in our price range, but some sites have come up recently that look promising.

All the best,

Ron and Mariko
