Kithouse

Kithouse and Radonmatters is seeking one or two motivated individuals to join our team to complete various construction and labour related tasks in the Erickson/Onanole area with occasional travel for out of area projects. This position being presented as seasonal, full-time however it could extend to year-round work.

We completed a very exciting addition to our Winnipegosis Kithouse project last week - the installation of a grid-tied solar PV system. This modestly sized solar system is expected to produce as much energy as is required by the home over the course of the year, making this a Net Zero Home. While the addition of the solar system was relatively easy, achieving Net Zero Energy with such a modest-sized (5.4kW) renewable energy system in this climate requires a very low energy home with specific attention to insulation, air sealing, and orientation with quality windows, doors and ventilation equipment... all covered as part of our Kithouse designs.

Lots of excitement here today as our first ready-to-move Kithouse is prepared to leave our location in Erickson, MB. Next stop - Winnipegosis.

Thanks Cody Horn Roofing and his team for a great job today.

Feels great to have the Kithouse fabrication shop up and running in Erickson, Manitoba. We now have the capability to producing completely constructed ready-to-move sustainable homes. The build shown here under construction will be a net zero energy home to be moved to Winnipegosis, MB this fall.
